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

On the other hand, depending on the sandblasted process used, the surface can be more or less prone to scratches too.

Getting the itch here you should do a before and after post. Start with bezel!

[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

Looks good- you could have a go at putting bevel on lug tips
