Following up on my 166.010/168.024 questions

cnjackson · Sep 24, 2022

Hi again, everyone. Thanks so much for the collective help of the forum. (Especially as there are at least two of us inquiring into this reference right now!)

I'm very close to making a decision and making a purchase--but I want to check on a couple of things.

One 166.010 looks very nice to me! My only reservation about it is what looks like a little bit of pitting in the upper right lug. Do you think this is a problem? My instinct is that it's merely cosmetic. But I wanted to check with you all!

Thanks so much!

Chris

Could be slight pitting, more likely to be sort/grime. As the seeker of it rubs off.

Good photos are unforgiving. They show everything.

Whether it’s pitting or grime, it’s unlikely that you’ll notice it once you wear it.

Thank you, too, Spruce: I;m very glad people don't see any reason to be alarmed by this!

It might be possible to clean that up some by hand with some mag polish.
