bumroxas Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Got a 005, overall its beautiful but wasnt quite happy with the CG brushed finish. Mine showed a little uneveness in the corners. With a jewelers sandpaper I rebrushed the finish. A little off from the gen but better than it started in my opinion. Let me know what you honestly think. I can always have a professional jeweler rebrush this if it looks off... Sorry forgot to take a side by side with a friends gen 005 but i hope the pics are enough. BTW is this a new caseback? with an 026 natural light white flourescent warm white the caseback Thanks guys Edited May 29, 2011 by bumroxas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Squared Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Yep. Looks like they have improved the caseback engravings - much deeper now rather than the lightly etched numbers in the previous batch. My new 005K also has the same caseback as yours.

Shortagear Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Gotta ask, given that this is a rep, why bother blacking out the FAKE serial numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
