And I appreciate sending the thread. I think your and my watches are rather similar in condition (I'll provide some additional pics of the case a little later). But I do want to stress that I wouldn't be doing this because the case is too thin or over-polished. Would be doing it to give it essentially a new start with me for the next 20-30 years. I know, weird idea to some, but we all have our quirks :)

And appreciate the kind words on the last few watches. It's great to have a hobby that you can actually immerse yourself in.
My pleasure. If I were to do it, it would be for the same reasons—a fresh start and I do like a solid set of chamfers! I know for a fact that none of those dents and scratches on my dad's watch were memorable to him, nor the ones I added later, to me. Just damage incurred over a half century of use. Well in my case maybe only 30 years. After I had it serviced after 20 years in a drawer he was surprised I still had it.
