    I was wondering, can I get the gold insert in the back of my Connie replaced? I don't want to not wear it But it's really wearing down.. I think I'm down to about three stars now.. It seems once they start wearing they go really fast :(
    I wouldn't care but I don't want it to not be worth anything because people think I have it to a trigger happy watchgrinder.

    You would be hurting the originality of the watch and having a pristine looking emblem on a worn back will raise even more questions.

    Well I would probably wear down the new one too I wear it all the time. It seems like a really bad idea to put it there.

    Put a clear case back sticker on it, that should make its last a lot longer.

    I've been thinking about putting a case back sticker on a few of my vintage watches (35-36mm).........Can anyone point me in the right direction where I'd buy a few, I'm in the UK.

    Cheers!

    I'm not really sure.. I know it's from 1956. Here is the front.

    You guys are hilarious! I had to check it to make sure I wasn't down to two stars. Some kind of voodoo is going on.. Pretty soon what's the point of having a observatory looking into the abyss.

    3 is all good :) but yes you need the sticker or it will soon be nil if you want to wear it daily. Value of time I guess
