planner Posted June 28, 2014 Share #1 Â Posted June 28, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am purchasing an R7 black body with a serial number of 2008XXX which is listed by several sources as a chrome body. The seller is reputable and the body looks original. Any possible explanations welcomed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

planner Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share #3 Â Posted June 29, 2014 Thanks for the thought. however the serial number is shown on the baseplate which is black. It looks original which makes me feel that it is genuinely a black body. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
