    Great watch!

    You know I hate polishing, but definitely skip it on this one because the case is plated. Leave it as it is, especially because the plating is fragile and thin.

    Very interesting... :think:

    Many people seem to agree that the lollipop hand is correct, and that a Mercedes hand could be a replacement. But I'm happy to learn otherwise.

    I recently saw another unpolished, original example for $4,500 USD, but I paid quite a bit less than that. Note that the watch should have a 9315 bracelet with 380 end links. Make sure that's correct...
