Firstly......Are these the ones that were in Germany on ebay?I have NOS ones and they are slightly more shiney annod. Ive got 3 sets of DX's and the edges around the caps are alot neater than those!!!!!Dont wanna put doubt in ya head mate. Just being honest.
dx's were lacquered not anno so it's hard to tell. They look very nice. the endcaps just unscrew mate, use some pliers carefully in the 2 indentations and unscrew(anticlockwise lol) if what's underneath will help you see the truth.for what it's worth, they look original to me, the ends show no sign of refurbishment and the end caps are original.
They look good to me, take a pick from a distance the shininess will prob look a little different then close ups and look more like the one's munners posted. if they were recons then i would expect the ends to be smoother as when filed the texture is taken out.
it was only the marking and not nice finish around the end caps that made me say refuredthey just dont look tidy enough from what i have seen thats all.
Hi mateIve got red, gold and blue and the edges around where the end caps fit are perfect. No imperfections.I was watching them! The only reason i didnt bid was because they looked slightly more blue than mine. I was suspect at the time.HOWEVER....................They definitely havent been rubbed down as the grain in the pedals would have disapeared. Yours are still there. At worst they may have been re-annod or painted.Obviously you had your doubts too as you have asked our opinion. Remember though that the finish on SX's and DX's are totally different. SX's are mega shiney and DX's aint.If i could see them in the flesh i would be able to help further.
No probs.Looking at them now they look fine.Take some pics out in the daylight and turn the flash off mate.
Look like NOS to me, just not 100% perfect in production which adds to the product and goes to show the Japs QC processes weren't as good as we'd like to think they are
