«examined by Dent London »? What does it mean?

Greetings to all,

Am posting this in the general forum as it’s a generic question albeit about an early Longines watch I have just acquired.
Could perhaps someone shed light about the meaning of an engraving on the inner case of this 1913 silver watch - which says « Examined by Dent » London.

For those who are curious, Longines’s archive indicates this watch was sold as a silver wristwatch with sterile dial to Baume in England in March 1913. It is equipped with an early 12.91 center seconds movement.

Many thanks and best regards,

S

Nice watch!
Here is some really interesting information regarding Dent:

And a pocketwatch with the same ingravings:

Great watch @Syrte !
This link gives a fair bit more information on Dents: http://www.dentlondon.com/about/history.php and your inscription includes their trading addresses at that time. Quite what they mean by 'examined' I don't know.

Thank you very much gentlemen, the info under those links is very interesting- leads me to wonder whether the watch was retailed by Dent- watchmaker to the Queen’s no less!


I liked the two pictures posted without credit under the NAWCC write up.
