Speedmaster caseback protectice covering.

londoncolin · Oct 31, 2020

Whilst checking out some 1990s Speedmasters up for sale I have noticed a partial blue colouring to the caseback of a couple, and wonder if this is likely to be the remains of the original caseback sticker. Any thoughts people?

yep, but not a sticker - some sort of protection wax...

Yes - has a waxy look rather than sticker. Thanks a lot. Just sorry I can't post a photo.

Click “add photo”, choose the photo, and then remember to click “insert photo”. Easy peasy.

Any chance of seeing a photo? Would be great to see an example.

Anyone can get the wax coating as it’s sold in most metal working shops and Steel websites.
Was only looking at some metal for a current knife project where it was on the ends of some knife steels, and sure enough they sold it also.
