You guys are terrible.

I had to go buy a cheap pie-pan 14.393 to drown my sorrows. Ain't no textured dial though... 🙁

Right you are Evan, nice to have few different things so as to not have to associate with the riff-raff.👍

Thanks Vince. Happy new year to you!



Btw guys, I am just wondering if the case is truly unpolished or did someone apply a grain on it? In my excitement, I thought that the graining is a sign of unpolished case but after the excitement died down, it hit me that the grain could have been applied post-factory

I’m asking just for clarity sake in case I ever decide to sell it, I would like to describe it as accurately as possible. Hopefully some connie experts can shed some light on it as this is the first watch case where I have observed the grain on it.

Do these cases' lugs come out of the factory with a graining finish?

Edit: for easier reading and grammar mistakes

Perhaps the side of the lugs were brushed if that is what you are talking about. I would not worry much about.
But if it bothers you I'll be happy to take it off your hands 😁

Yes that was what I am asking about. The graining on side of the lugs, could it be factory original?
