Valuate Vintage Watches by Thin Lugs

For those who are interested in vintage replica watches, the problem that always arises when evaluating potential purchases is over-polishing, which is the main cause of thin lugs. This is no doubt a major topic when it comes to vintage Rolex, but it affects most fake watches that have been polished over the years. 
On the first check, the first thing the buyer notices is not the watch lugs, but the hands, perhaps the crystal. However, these lugs have a lot of forensic evidence about what happened to the watch over the years and are the most important part of the comfort and stability of the replica watch.
Comfort, because they are designed to bend in a certain way to “embrace” the wrist. Stability, because the lugs are where the bracelet connects to the watch, and the spring bars hold the watch on the wrist, keeping it away from the ocean floor. fake rolex watches
In fact, thinner lugs are impossible to make that, so your watch won’t stay on your wrist and it feels uncomfortable. So why is it important to talk about collectible Rolex? To this end, we must discuss the polishing process.
When a replica watch is polished by a local jeweler or the manufacturer itself, polishing a watch is the process of removing a thin metal layer from the fake watch. If you have a deep scratch on the metal, the only way is to remove the metal around the scratch, leaving a smooth surface.
See if the edges are very sharp and precise, especially on the bevel (top of the lug). Over the years, rounded corners on corners and edges are a very visible sign of many polishes, making collectors less interesting later. As a general rule, if you are going to sell a watch, do not polish it in advance to make it look more beautiful. Suppose the buyer wants it unpolished and can provide polishing if they wish.
To see if the side of the watch has thinned, see the reference picture for the time when the metal is under the bezel. Like the thin lugs, the thin case is not desirable for all the usual reasons and is not technically resistant to water. Look where I’ve marked the Rolex hulk down there
Based on all of this, the case’s lugs can tell us a lot about what happened before the watch arrived. Part of the joy of appreciating any dream clock is its precision; perfect angle and polished bevel as well as thickness matching sturdy lugs. To understand the mindset of vintage watch lovers, these elements can be as important as a good deal and the original hand. In fact, the history of scratches is always better than mediocre polishing before selling the replica watch. Then, they can make up for decades of history of the people who wore it, and what they did while wearing it and appreciating it. Who would have thought of them?
