: 2. I realize that the case is plated metal. Is this a problem and
: shoul I be trying to get a stainless steel case?

Kevin,

Everybody has their own evolving collecting philosophy. Mine, after many years of collecting, is that I don't buy compromises. Every time I have done it I have ended up disappointed and disappointment inevitably ends with the loss of money. Plated base metal cases are a huge compromise. Collectors know this and usually will not buy them...so...when you end up disappointed and try to sell one...nobody will want to buy it.

Don't
