I think i like the black dial version better too...
You wrote in your reply, that i should go for an unpolished one. My question is how much it will cost me to get it polished, and is it worth it to buy one a little cheaper, to then get it polished? And is it like hairlines, or deeper scratches that can be polished away???
I must say that your watch is very intriguing, and that it is in mint condition. But its unfortunately way over my budget. (only 16 years old so... )
Everytime a watch is polished you remove metal.A unpolished watch is what most
collectors go after,especially on vintage camfered Rolex cases.But in this case a
light polish is nothing you should worry about.Do not worry about hairlines or
light scratches,they can be polished out if you want a pristine looking watch.Do
not buy a watch with deeper hacks in the case,these cannot be removed.
Look for a watch that has been looked after and if you can box and certificate.
Personally i would only use a authorised Rolex dealer to polish my Rolex watch.
They have new machines that do a very professional job.But to get your watch
serviced or repaired there are many competent watch makers that can do this
at a lower cost than a Rolex dealer.Take a look on Chrono 24,there are many for
sale within your budget.When you find a watch you like,ask people on this site
to give you a opinion on the watch and the dealer who is selling it.Take your
time,there are plenty to choose from.And ask the dealer to send you some
close up pictures of the watch case and bracelet.Do not worry about asking
what you think are silly questions.There are no silly questions for someone
who is new to the world of watches.You did the absolutly wisest thing by
asking on this site before buying your watch
