In Response To: Re: Nato for a 1163T 'Siffert' ()

: BTW, I mean the brushed finish is a little weak when I wrote
: "texture." I know this can sometimes very during
: production as well, and while it is not missing the brushed
: texture, I have seen it pop more in pictures.

Chap, if fitting seems tight, remove the springbars and then lay the nato into position and re-fit the springbars, it will work ;)

As for the bezel, the insert can be removed and re-alligned, the case can be refinished to a factory fresh appearance, including the grain on the top face which is done using a lapping machine, google 'Belgian Magician' ;)

Best,

James.
