5mns ago at antiquorum... One about looks like it should, the other one going way too close to a polishing wheel...

Time to revive this funny (?) thread!

There seems to be a lot of hate for the Mark II...😲

Especially a shame for this one, as the dial is lovely🤔

I rejected this 2254 as being over polished. Was I over reacting? Thanks.

The dial is too wavy, I think they should polish that too

At what point does “overpolished” become “modified”?

When overpolished has to be justified.

Such a shame how some of these watches have been polished to oblivion. Was overpolishing generally in vogue in the past or are these just “special”?

Some watchmakers get overzealous. I had a CMW polish a stainless 14700 into nothing, totally destroying it. Fortunately I was able to find a replacement case rather quickly.
