[LeSentier]

Gents, please enlight me - since when do the 111s have polished CG's?

Not sure but it is an e series so they might not have used the brushes CG back then

[projectologist]

With a production run of 3500 (as seen on the case back pic), this would be an E series 111, the first year for this model and came with a polished CG. The thicker Historic brushed CG started showing up during the G series (production run of 2000).

Correct, this is an E series that I think dates back to 2004. They did not use brushed CG's back then since they started with G which I think was 2006.

BTW, the price is too high as well.
