JohnG 41 Posted July 12, 2009 Perfect! I have a thing about cg pins - it is (to me) the easiest thing to spot. The gens I see when window shopping have completely flush pins, can hardly tell they are there, certainly no reflected light from a raised, recessed or slightly rounded pin. The other stuff is harder to see, but the pin is a bigger tell. Basically if you can see it from more than a meter away, something is wrong in Paneraiville.

houndoggie 58 Posted July 12, 2009 thx all. It is fun to work over the CGs. I can't wait to get my new replimages so I can sandpaper the CGs!! I will need to send the fiddy to my "guy" to completely remove the AR (it's partially removed) and to further refine the CP. It's a tall CP, but it still looks recessed. I think by shaving the tube of the minute hand a little, it will be perfect... Then I'll sell it for $1700!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P_Diddy 0 Posted July 12, 2009 I'll consider buying it why does the collar guard look rusty in one of the pics? thx all. It is fun to work over the CGs.
