Yes - that case has been refinished by a person perhaps used to Rolex. There was another Ed White in Phillips HK with similar polishing.

and a truly batsh*t crazy estimate that ed white has even if case wasn't refinished

I must confess going back through again is absolutely mind blowing. Candy store. A very expensive candy store. Different league.

They posted results.. Sommatore 150k euro. Many passed lots. I am not enough of a Longines expert to know whether there was any rhyme or reason to it...

speaking about the Longines part of the sale:
in my opinion, some watches failed because they had dials which were not originally mounted in this type of watch (for example a Suiza dial on a watch delivered to Chile). Some numbers did not match. Different numbers on case back and lug. It seems that the collectors of valuable Longines chronographs have a good knowledge and are very selective today...
