Hard to say from those photos but they don't appear thinned out.

I’m not so sure that I would polish it. Generally, macro photos make everything appear larger than life. That being the case (pun intended), your Sub probably looks less worn in the metal.

Beautiful, congrats!

Interesting, in the side by side shot, that it appears larger than the SD....possibly the NATO? Looks great, enjoy!

I was understanding that subs are larger than SD at least in Diameter! plus SD have a thicker bezel but smaller crystal.
