sorry, but still unconvinced this is a sunburst case.
below are the three case finishing versions I have seen in GP, two could be called "sunburst",
neither of these seems similar to the case posted above ?

absolutely real, all components seem correct; 1967 piece, Venus188/Valjoux 7730. dial and hands are in very, very nice condition. |

Yes I saw this one, looks 100% genuine . Just a restriction about the the "sunburst" effect, the pics do not allow to really appreciate the condition of the case. |

Thanks guys for your opinions and yes it is sunburst effect. The dial and the case are in almost immaculate condition. Just the crystal needs to be replaced. |

If it is a sunburst case then it would appear to have been very excessively polished. |

Yes, not enough regarding the original sunburst, but too much for scratches on a polished case . Maybe a better pic? |

Sorry guys it is my fault.  This is not a sunburst case. I thought you meant sun reflections.  This is a glossy finished case with some scratches. Do you think it should be left like this or polished? |
