Hello Abel,

I sincerely appreciate the opinions of the Master of Heuer Surfaces.

: As already pointed out here...I also think case is blasted, I
: presume with Aluminiumoxide 400 or something in that
: neighborhood. Quite a rough finish and ideal surface prior to
: coating.

Yes, this seems to get the consensus.

I include some close-up pictures and would like to get your further ideas about the treatment this case might have got.

I was attracted by the special dim appearance, but also by the traces of usage. Though, we would never accept similar scratches on a black surface.

I will keep my cheapest Heuer untouched, only a professional cleaning might be appropriate.

Cheers,

Mick
