I've actually been thinking about putting the original fat font, very black insert back on, though, (as I did with the 1675 recently). Just thinking about it



Here's how the original one looks - very cool, and totally different.

Stunning patena, love the red sub

Thanks and mine is actually a 6.2 mil and from what I have seen it could be one of the last 5512's produced.

Delightful pieces as always, gents.

This just back from a full service at Tokyo RSC. They did a nice job with conservative polishing - still got the sharp chamfers on it.
