    Recently I've managed to compare both MK1 116520 and 116500LN in person. Assessing whether they've been polished.
    Most article/thread I read stated that the cases are identical for these two models. However, I find the crown guards and lugs to have a rather tiny difference.
    Pics: (both stated as unpolished by seller)

    116500LN: (slimmer edge)

    I haven't had the chance to handle any other 116520 or 116500LN at the moment to confirm. Anyone might have noticed something similar?

    Okay so I've searched for more pictures of 116520 crown-guard-backs and I think all I've seen have the 'curved' look. Meanwhile, the 'square' look is found on 16520. I've attached pics for a clearer explanation.
    I've purchased this 116520 with 'square' look. Is this something I should be worried about?
    Any 116520 owners that could help me check theirs will be greatly, very appreciated.
