··IG: #blubarb19Hey all! Very excited to have purchased my FOIS last Friday which doubles as my first "real watch" following wearing my Hamilton I received for graduation the past three years. Couldn't be more excited and constantly find myself staring down at my wrist thinking "it's just so good." Sitting right in the 6700's for this number. One thing I've been trying to figure out is the engraving above the hippocampus' head. Been combing the internet for what it is in reference too but no dice. Can anyone fill me in here?
Security engraving introduced around 2007 I think, I am sure someone will correct me. I think the idea behind it is to add another layer of difficulty for fakers

"The plaintiff, Omega SA, is a luxury watchmaker based in Switzerland that distributes its watches through authorized retailers. The Omega watches feature a copyrighted globe design on the back of the watch. The defendant Costco obtained the watches through the gray market: Omega would sell the watches to authorized distributors, third parties would buy the watches and sell them to the New York state company ENE Limited, and ENE would sell the watches to Costco. Omega did not authorize the importation or resale in the United States, and Omega sued for copyright infringement under 17 U.S.C. §§ 106(3) and 602(a). Costco asserted that the first-sale doctrine precluded any infringement claims against them. The trial court ruled in favor of Costco."
