Somehow the corners look a bit polished to me, not sure if I’m wrong. Happy for inputs from the experts . Maybe the model was like that?
Its the wg version of apollo 11 25th anniversary.
(The dial was swapped, as the old one got a brownish coloration).

 

Looks to me as it has been polished.

 

that would make three of us that see the same thing...

 

This is mine for comparison. It has also been polished, but I think this may be par for the course for these. I will try to post some more pictures later tonight.

 

I am no expert but also think it has been polished.
But I think it has been done well and the fact that you can’t obviously tell is a good thing.

 

Puuuhhh, yes thought the same. The corners looked polish. Anyway the watch was sold for 11.5k +7.7% + 25% hammer = 15.26k CHF.
And the next bid I would have had to do was 12.5k.
I absolutely love the White Gold Speedy. But as it has no papers, no box and is polished I decided to stop at 11k (respectively 15.26k all in).
No I will have to wait months until another one poops up .
In the meantime I can at least enjoy my other 4 steel Speedys .


have a good start in the new week

 

Your username is interesting as it's similar to a neighbor my relatives had on the left coast. Is R your first initial?

 

Was born and grew up in Horgen . So, yes.
Btw, how is it possible to change the name on the Forum. Did not thought to much about it in the beginning, but it’s quite obvious who I am with this alias.

of course, now I have also to ask who this relative of yours is

 

Not a relative but my relative's neighbor up in Benedict Canyon. His name was Rudi Altobelli and I actually have 2 of his watches.

 

Ah ok, so another R Altobelli than .
I thought with “left coast”, you meant left side of the Zürich lake.

 

Looks like its been polished

 

I feel like I accidently stumbled onto the Rolex Forum.

 

Rudi was a fairly well known talent agent in the Hollywood entertainment circles.

 

Just stumbled onto this. I was the underbidder on this one (I think). Congrats on the purchase and enjoy it buddy.
