Re: re-brushing/un-polishing
In Response To: re-brushing/un-polishing ()

Wynonie,

There are different meaning to 'being polished', this may mean that the finish has been worked on to remove scratches, or that an original grained or brushed finish was been polished out. The latter is what I presume you are referring to.

Some say 'leave as is', others would say get the case refinished. It's entirely up to you. Personally, I think that refinishing a case is not a problem especially if you wish to restore the original finish.

Yes, there are people who can do this for you, where abouts are you - Europe, US?

Cheers
Stewart

: (whatever the word is!). And if so, do you think it is worth

: Finally - how might I go about it?

: I bought a 1153s Carrera, original in every way, except this.
