Is this over polished or what?

I saw this Explorer II on Recon, the right lug looks far thinner than the left and the spring bar is sticking out. That is a good indicator is it not?

I just noticed that the lower right lug is flush with the bracelet and the others extend past the end links. Do you think there was a lot of material removed from those 2 lugs?

I'd buy it, if the price is good.
Then send it to Carlo to fix as a project.

Agree. Lotsa repair work was done on heavy scratches.

Doubt very much it was done by Rolex either; it's way off "original condition" and in my view warrants a new case.

Thanks for posting this falcon, its educational for me learning to identify these things.

If it was done by Rolex, the guy should be fired. It wasn't something that took me a long time to notice, as soon as I saw the picture it didn't look right.

No problem, you have to be careful when buying watches. The bad thing is this one is being sold by a WUS sponsor.
