That one a lot worse than it looks.........
In Response To: It's more complicated than that ()

I was bidding on that.........but, I asked the seller for super close ups of the bezel.

That bezel has a glassy mirror like finish that shows scrathes in one light and looks perfect in another angle.

I had an exact one like it this summer with better bezel; which had essentially trick shots of the bezel in low light at a mis-leading angle.

The auction you linked has has marks all over the bezel finish, mind you not thru the paint! I know it sounds hard to believe, but that buyer is going to be a bit suprised.

75% of my collection is NOS, so you notice finish, patina, sharpness of edges, polished/matte finish, etc.
