Very nice result! You have the bones there to drape some really nice skin over. If it was me, I'd clean up the CGs and then find a logo-less dial and engraved caseback to go "stealth" pre-COMEX. That's the one gaping hole in my collection and you're most of the way there.

I think that's pretty fair Sogeha. Don't be in a hurry to sell and wait for the right buyer to come along.

Sell as if you're a buyer not wanting to get screwed and that will smooth things over immeasurably.

I've got several MicroTech knives and I've never had one fail to fire and lock up. I've bought several rep Benchmade Infidels and once or twice they'd fail but a couple drops of Teflon Triflow lubed them enough that now they work exactly like the gen. [emoji1360]
I tired these and they work great. Measure your ID and OD and see which of his adhesive rings will fit the Silix best. https://www.ebay.com/itm/172385220185
