·Hi all,
I'm looking to purchase my first nice watch and have set my sights on the 2220.80.
This forum has been such a fantastic resource. I've read the 'Learn to Fish' post and understand to look for sharpness in the lug edges/bezel; despite poring over various pictures, I'm not very confident in my ability to differentiate just yet.
Does anyone perhaps have examples of what an overpolished specimen of this style may look like? Any other tips/tricks as I work to develop my eye?
If anyone would indulge me, these are my takes on some listing pics I've included below:
Seller describes the condition as "Fair," but it looks pretty good to me. Did I misinterpret anything or perhaps miss some red flags?
This is a well-reviewed dealer in Japan and claims ±0 sec/day.
Many thanks to anyone who reads all this. I look forward to learning more and joining the club in the future!

If anyone would indulge me, these are my takes on some listing pics I've included below:
- Lug edges seem sharp
- Scalloped bezel appears defined, but the light washes it out a bit so I'm not sure
- No obvious cuts with smoothed out edges
- Scuffing on He valve side of case perhaps suggests it has not been polished much(?)
