    Heavy polishing can round the edges

    No. It's a different case reference and the real deal. Ash is correct in that it's been polished. This seller is noted for loving the "bling" factor.

    The crown has been replaced with a NOS one from a different reference. However, since the thin original 10-sided crown has been discontinued for many years, it's the best replacement avaliable. Dial is discolored, but looks original to me. Buckle is genuine Omega, but from a much later watch.

    It is way overpriced, IMHO.

    Hope this helps,

    Sadly on eBay, "oooooo, shiny!" sells faster than "original and unpolished". :(

    Well, if you are patient and willing to pay, you still can find one, sometimes.
    I've just bought one for nearly $200.
