I looked at the other screws in the movement, the movement screws appear to match very well regarding finish and condition.

+1
If I think that I originally bought the movement from Luke to start a project and then changed my mind to put it back in its original condition.
It doesn't seem real to me.

Many thanks Hako mate... :wave:

I usually tend to make changes ... and it wouldn't hurt to put blue screws. But on pieces of this level I prefer to keep the original aspect.
Obviously my personal opinion.

Indeed Hamilton gives the feeling of an excellent level of finish. ;)
