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.

No it was fine. You were abducted by aliens, that's all. Check behind your ears for weird markings.

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!!!

why does the collar guard look rusty in one of the pics?
