[mention]leeyewfei[/mention] you call it scratches, I call it character but yes, I get your point.

Re: polished Millemetri
Getting the itch here you should do a before and after post. Start with bezel!
"Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black."

[mention]Yoda[/mention] thx, indeed it is a lot work but it is worth it
[mention]Mellons[/mention] no shaping only to polishing the edges of the 3 upper parts of the bezel came softer
