I have come across some so called "Dug out TK Rings". while the condition is not pristine and the engraving may not be obvious, would you consider buying these? or too squimish? just my asking as I am still looking for a ring and all options are open for me.

Many thanks.

Years ago it was a scam to have a marginally good copy of a HR turned into a 'dug' ring.. It hides all the problems. Be very careful and please post what ever your considering on the various ring forums [here and] for opinions:
