<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 360425, member: 54"]Pure guesswork here, but the back looks odd for two reasons. The etching is faint but not due, apparently, to long wear. The text there is at an odd angle if the back locks on only in one position. If it can be put on at many different angles then turned to lock, as with an interrupted thread, all the odd angle means is that the back has been removed before and the remover re-locked it at a different angle. I’m sure a top-notch watch like PP would be sold with the back text in alignment with line from 12-6 or 3-9. But I'm horologically ignorant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
