Pretty simple, we vintage guys love chamfers! If you have some left on your case and you have a photo that captures it well, post a pic


Have a good day everyone ;)

Thanks Nathaniel! Glad you like it. They're not the best pics of her, as I was trying to find 'chamfer' ones, but here's one just for you (stuff the chamfers, this one's all about the dial!)
