Due to their position on these Carreras, they are exposed to erosion due to polishing. When Abel refinished mine he took photos of the already feint serial numbers and told me that they would all but disappear if he refinished the case. I still went ahead with the refinish.

Lovely example by the way, one of the nicest fume dial versions I've seen.

: Thanks to both of you! I found both the serial and model numbers.
: They were a bit faint.
