Hi Guys. I have just purchased a 69 Speedy. I've had a few problems with the watch, which I'm slowly fixing. I've noticed a pin hole between the crown and the lower button. Anyone know what this is?

 

Ah, come on Steve! We all know you have the perfect skills and a sharp imagination to come up with a good picture for this one!

 

hi ththere that pic wasn't clear?

 

Now attached

 

Don't think that should be there. I'm sure a much more informed member will be along shortly.

 

It looks like it could be a punch mark from customs, I had a MKII which had a similar mark and the watch was from Portugal I think.

I assume the mark is just 1mm deep?

 

Yes if it comes from Portugal it might have this mark, but this is a bit more complex than just a hole. can you make a macro?

 

Hey not to hijack the thread but speedy4ever, why would it have this mark if coming from Portugal? Im portuguese, so quite curious!

thanks,

 

it was to show that import duties had been paid,

 

Interesting, I've never heard of this practice
