·Hi Forum Friends!
I have been wondering sometime how you/we feel about personal engravings,
and also marks that have been done by a watch maker?
Regarding case backs, these could (maybe not all of them...) be exchanged with a fresh one.
But if it is on the case or lug…?
I have sometimes found these on my never ending search (mostly Speedys...
),
and the questions that I have are:
How much does this bother you?
And of course - how would one set a value (negative) on them?
I have bought a Speedy myself with an engraving on the case back,
and since I got it for a fair price, it doesn't bother me at all.
And it is also a bit of history regarding the watch!
What are your thoughts?
