·Hi OF. So I'm in the market for a Speedy Reduced, and I'm considering 2 examples...
Example #1 appears to have better condition lume and hands, but the case and bracelet appear somewhat polished (although the current seller says that it was not polished in their possession). (First 3 photos).
Example #2 appears to have somewhat worse condition lume and hands, but the case and bracelet appear less polished. (Second 3 photos).
Regarding other factors, #2 is ~$400 cheaper, but #1 was more recently serviced and is running better, which is notable given the nature of servicing these unsupported movements.
So, I know this forum is generally anti-polish, but how do folks vote between these two? Thanks!
Edit: PS I'm specifically looking for tritium versions, hence the 1140 movements. And I've also asked for additional photos of case #1 to better confirm the degree of polishing.
