Kind of ironic, but this one was in better shape than the black "Typewriter font" model, despite being 3 years older. And I did take a "before photo" this time:

A few scratches on the crystal, but nowhere near as many nor as deep as the black one. It cleaned up fairly well...

Full SS case, 37.5mm X 43mm X 11.5mm thick, with 17mm lugs.

This one came on a well-worn black leather strap...

And sure the mod in question is the removal of the superfluous proprietary center lugs, same as the black "Typewriter font" version. I went into some detail in that previous post, so I'll just skip right to the results:

Note that I repeated the mixed lug bars thing, with one solid OEM Swatch bar and one conventional springbar. I used a different type of springbar here, and it's showing the stress a bit more. Bit bow-legged there! Whistling... Remember, "I do these stupid things, Dear Reader, so that you don't have to". Rollin' on the floor laughin' me ass off!

All in all I'm pretty pleased with it.
