What's the difference between old en new 4005's?

Wow, walnut!!! Nice arm mark too.

If you like marks you should check this.

Walnut? You sure that's not simply '80s FG?

The color is very brownish without signs of redish.

attached is a picture taken without flash (and too low shutter speed for my hands):

Thanks, Berth. In that photo, it does look like Walnut. A rare one!

Hmmm you guys make it difficult for me as I do see a refinish someday and I dont like brown and I dont like yellow and I think WAL more or less is brown and yellow. I do like natural colors like wood though. These are my favorite 4005 colours :



WAL is not one of them. BB with black hardware would be very nice I think. For the time being I think My 4005 stays the way it is. As far as I can see there is enough human grease/dirt on the unfinished spots to protect it meanwhile.

Wow, that's a tough call. Very tough. I'd be hard pressed to do it, even if I hated the color.
