a kind but nevertheless mandatory request ..

to all people that ask my opinion on case and reference numbers engraved between the lugs : I will not check anymore " sloped " pictures ( such as this one that btw shows a genuine number ) but only full front big ones.



it's not only a problem of big time spent trying to improve them but with sloped pics it's very easy to be disguised ( as latest fakes are not so different from correct ones ).
I also have a couple of suggestions for the market section :
a) lugs pictures accepted only if full frontal
b) only the last 2 digits of the case number hidden , as it's not possible to check a case number in a serious way if you can see only the first 2 or 3 numbers.

Totally reasonable request, like:

Grazie Mille for all you do here, Signore!

I know So many times the photos are horrible or hide necessary elements useful for identification. I for one, greatly appreciate all the help you give to the community
