: While I am pretty much in complete agreement with everyone
: else's comments, there is one major exception. Abel Court. This
: craftsman has developed a (secret) method of refinishing the
: brushed finish on latter Autavia's (1163, 11630, 11063, case
: styles) that is beyond reproach. He has mastered the art of
: maintaining sharp edges while restoring what is the almost jewel
: like sheen of the Autavia's top brushed surface. He is also
: equally as good (talented) when refinishing Monaco cases, in my
: opinion. I would have no trepidation allowing him to refinish
: any Autavia or Monaco I might acquire in the future and would
: not hesitate to recommend him doing the same for you. He is the
: master of Autavia/Monaco case refinishing!
