5513: LAWW case refinish or no?

Hey all,

Sent my 5513 to LAWW for a service about a month ago (the wait is killing me) and beginning to wonder if I should get the case refinished too. It’s already in pretty good shape with a decent amount of meat left, and I would probably ask that they leave the CGs alone, but I’m wondering if I should just leave it be altogether. I figure if I was ever gonna get it refinished now would be the time, since it’s already in their shop and out of my hands for 6-12 weeks. I dont really want the sides restored to a factory, blinding polish, but mainly want the chamfers and edges restored.

Just have the chamfers re-shaped, and leave the rest as is.
