    Wonder what happened to this crown?
    and,
    On the reverse I'd like to think, that I'm seeing, the shadow of the original sticker which may have once covered the hippocampus. What do yo think?
    For a little more than two decades I kept this watch with my spare buttons and, until 2015 every one I showed it to disliked it, except me. Since then thanks to you, I've learned it's an heirloom, birth year, astronaut watch never to be sold. The family hearsay is, that it may have come via a watch dealer in NYC named Manny. prior to 93-95'?

    I believe this web site will outlive us so if this watch should fly please return it to m son.

    It's not easy to see the mark on the reverse in full though from the one edge it looks like the mark left from a NATO strap; it looks to be perfectly in-line with the inner edge of the lug.
