I’m in California.
Yeah, I am a little torn. Primarily, I’d like to have the bevel restored. But I worry that the end result will actually be worse than it is now.
It’s a shame, because some fools damaged what had been a nice caseback, as evidenced by how nice the seahorse still is.
I’ve emailed ABC Watchworks and sent them photos. I’m going to see what they say before deciding. But, you might be right. Btw, I have no idea if the back is original; one of the problems with an eBay purchase (from a large Istanbul dealer) is they won’t reliably know either. But, the caseback looks like it goes with the case band.
It’s funny the things that will bother me about a watch and the things that don’t. As much as some here made fun of an OF member’s suggestion that a lot of a watch’s value is in the caseback, a bad caseback is a big turn off for me. Even though nobody can see it when you’re wearing it.
I love nice casebacks!
