·Maybe it’s the facetless version? 😲
Honestly, I’d rather have clear facets with scratches than it be rounded off like this. I’m constantly seeings ads for watches that start with the word ‘Polished’ like that’s a good thing. Give it a sympathetic clean, sure, but don’t buff it to death. It reminds me of the silver items on Antiques Roadshow where they’ve been over-polished so that the hallmarks can’t be read, devaluing the item.

I agree. Would much rather have an untouched case than one with no lines/edges. The watch in first pic in this thread was looks like it was polished many times.
