Provenance analysis

Preserved factory chamfers versus altered surfaces.

True vintage integrity requires uncompromised case geometry. Machine bevels applied during original production leave crisp transitions that over-polishing inevitably softens and rounds out.

Our documentation isolates these micro-features to verify that every reference retains its authentic factory finish.
