What a lovely watch, however, I have to say that I much prefer the pre-service condition. The case was perfect, with factory original, unpolished surfaces showing light scratches from its long life. The pre- photo is also excellent, perfectly highlighting the unpolished surfaces of the case. Now it is over-polished and lifeless, in my opinion. It is also worth significantly less money now (not my opinion, but simply a fact). I typically instruct my watchmaker to never polish my cases at all, not even with a microfiber cloth, and to clean them only in the ultrasonic cleaner. Your case is not particularly rare, and you could probably source an unpolished one if you were so inclined. In any case, this forum is for the exchange of viewpoints. The important thing is that you are enjoying the watch, and getting satisfaction out of it.
