Crown guards

Hey all-
I was comparing my crown guards on my 1675 to other 1675's of that year and they look different. I added the link I put up recently of my watch with pics of my 1675.

Thoughts?

Thanks

I do not understand your question.

The top CG is square and the bottom may have been polished a little too much at one point.

Can you clarify?

Sorry, if my question wasn't clear, but you kind of answered it....looking at my 1675 the crown guards look a little too polished

There is nothing wrong with your CGs, just a bit polished. You bought one hell of a nice 1675 from Steve.

Here's an unpolished 1675...

I'm a nut when it comes to cases, they have to be thick, lugs, guards etc, if not I'm not happy. I think you may have the same problem as me. If this is the case, the only way to solve it is to talk to Steve or flip it. Steve is a great guy and I'm sure if you talked to him he'll make sure you're happy.

Your watch looks fine. Don't overthink it. It is extremely difficult to find an unpolished 1675. The lugs are good and the CG's are fine. Enjoy it!!!

It's not that I need thick lugs, guards, etc. Its more like I need it to be correct and original. I am happy with the watch.
