Hi all,
How do these lugs look on this 2016 maxi case Sub date? Factory original or lightly polished?

Thanks for your insight.

I believe the image resolution is too low to know for sure. Also blurry / out-of-focus in spots.

There seems to be some uneven edges, but with the lighting and pixelation and blur it's tough to tell.

Any chance of providing high-resolution, in-focus pictures?

As mentioned already. The pics are too low quality, but with that said, I believe they are polished - but only slightly and nothing too dramatic.😀

I tried to take better pics. Hopefully these show more detail. Thanks.

One last set. Hopefully I captured the details appropriately.

My guess is no polish, although the lower crown guard looks weird in the closeup (4th pic up from bottom). Can't tell if that's weirdness from the picture or if it's really rounded off like that.

My guess, based on some of the pics (6-8th and 10th in this posting in particular), that someone had a ball with a sanding machine/paper. Much too harsh finish for what I might think is appropriate.
I still remember, myself using a 1200 sanding paper to get this 'effect'....
Lucky it was an old Citizen I F^&&ed up. I mean, an old citizen watch, not someone from my neighborhood....

But I have been wrong before and will be in future....

they look just fine to me., even if they are lightly polished 👍 .... but again, I can’t imagine looking with such great detail the lugs of any of my watches when wearing them...and dont think anyone around me would look that close either 😎

Lol....I'm Just confirming. I wouldn't Polish it. I prefer normal wear and tear from normal use.
