Anyone got some bevels?
I’m a sucker for nice juice bevels and don’t really care for laser welds or over polishing
Here’s some side shots from my gilt 1675 and my red sub...
Anyone else got some sexy corner shots?

The term is “chamfer,” not bevel. And your example is pretty nice!

Here’s one

I do not like refinished cases on vintage watches...I leave all my cases as found, even if they have seen a polish wheel. Nothing worse than a 50 year old watch with a perfectly cut case that is flawless. The watch should have flaws, thats what makes vintage appealing imo.

Original "bevels" are always a bonus. Finding one can be a real challenge.

This is my 5513. To me those original chamfers are pure works of art.

Some 1680 bevel. It's been serviced by AD's a couple of times, so I assume re-finished ??

So I’m sort of well “rounded” methinks

Not to mention swirled - mine get worn.

Wish the new watches still had the chamfers and radial brushing

Here are 60 year old chamfers (all from the same case), :)









And a modern chamfer for fun:
