I just bought this. Can anyone confirm the case to be polished on the sides and brushed above as shown?
It's in remarkable condition for a watch of the era.

Tough to tell from the photos but a 6306/6309 from the factory had a brushed finish on the top bevel/surface and a polished finish everywhere else. There should be a crisp edge where the brushed surface transitions to the polished.

Thanks. Indeed it has a crisp edge between the two finishes.

Nice one. Mine with same finish. Couple of Turtles, Willard and 7002s at recent family get together.

Edit: Actually bottom right SKX399, which I no longer own.
