16710 Lugs/overpolish

Hi all
I’m considering trading my ceramic sub for this 16710 stick dial and wondering if the lugs look normal or over polished to members.

Thanks
Chikka

Looks like it has been polished, leaving the edges rounded, with that said there is a lot of meat on the lugs left and a more professional service can bring it back to factory specs.

No, I wouldn’t say it is over-polished.

I would say acceptable. The bezel teeth look a little rounded and that would bother me more, but that is a part that can be replaced.

Not over polished but could do with being refinished or brushed properly.

Looks like it’s been polished before but I would t say over polished

Depends on what you want. To wear and enjoy, I’d say it’s fine
If you take a collectible piece then wait for an unpolished one. I know I might get heat from my fellow TRFers for saying that but I personally like my watches untouched!

Needs a WIS owner to keep it in decent order. Ceramic Sub would be ditched if it was me.
