: Hi Mark,

: Yes, probably 80-85% of the brush finish has gone - its not fully
: polished so I can live with it and see about getting it
: re-brushed when I get it serviced. This is proving a real pain
: at the moment because in Dubai (where I live) there is an issue
: with shipping mechanical devices out of the country - I can
: receive, but not send. So I need to get to UK, send to someone
: like Abel and then get it back here. So for now, i'll live with
: a bit of over zealous polishing!

: Totally agree, they do take some getting used to. I think its
: partly to do with the fact that the lug width and therefore
: strap size is so small (18mm) for a watch that is ever so
: slightly wider than the MkII. But on the whole, I'm liking it -
: it could not be mistaken for a contemporary watch and is very
: much of its day, which I rather like.

: One thing that worried me, but I have since discovered is
: consistent with other watches, is that the vertical lines that
: appear where the CdG finish merges into the next panel seem to
: be oddly spaced. The 'Carrera' script and Heuer shield seem
: slightly lined up more to the left line than the right. I'm not
: sure if its an optical illusion, but the 'Carrera' and Heuer are
: obviously in the middle of the face, but not in the middle of
: the middle panel.

: Thrilled with it, and even more excited that I will get to see it
: improve when I get lumed, and brushed at some point.

: Cheers!
