Fucking fascinating. There's a PhD waiting on watch inscriptions that needs to be written. You've now taught me a lot about my increasingly awesome Rolex watch and I've decided I'm going to wear it a lot more than I have been (it works fine in terms of accuracy - provided I wind it daily). Part of my reluctance to wear it has been the erosion on the back - you can see in the image that there's a hole in the case, and I'm anxious about sweat or rain getting in and corroding the mechanism. Presumably I could get a goldsmith or someone to electroplate the back, but I don't want to damage the inscription. Also money, but in the past couple of years that's been less of an issue.
