Trying to decide between two 114270s (which polished case is better)

Hey guys. Been a while

Trying to decide between two explorers.

Case condition is most important to me. I believe both cases have had a light polish, or maybe one hasn’t been polished at all. But curious what you think has the better case.

Option 1:

Z serial recently serviced watch only












Option 2: recent service / full kit








About $300 difference between the two.

Option 2 is $300 more. But like I said case condition is most important

What do you think?

I think that these watches are not remotely vintage, and that should go with your personal preference.

Watch: What is "watch"?

Both watches are polished and pretty average, commensurate with age. That said, neither is my cup of tea, condition-wise. But I'm NOS and unpolished only - so no surprises there!

Definitely go with the full-set.
