Can Overpolished / Shallow Lug Holes be helped?
As I posted in a separate thread, I recently purchased a 16710 and found that likely due to polishing, the lug holes aren't as deep as they appear in unpolished examples. In other words the spring bar head appears nearly flush with the lug hole instead of having maybe 0.5mm of space.
See examples attached comparing the 5PM lug hole of the Pepsi with that of the Black bezel. Is this something that could be improved using the case refinishing services of someone like a LAWW or Rolliworks? Most of the examples I've seen of their work address chamfers, polishing, and beveled edges but this not this issue regarding the lug thickness. Does anyone have examples of work they've done on cases with this type of overpolishing? While I get this is pretty minor and doesn't impact functionality: a. what are watch people if not people who obsess over minutiae , and b. for some reason once I've noticed it as an issue it's become hard for me to unsee, and since I'm not looking to resell it, would be something I'd like to fix if possible. |
