Holy cow those are awesome macros. I feel like I'm in on a little secret about this dream watch. Thanks for that, Charles.

Thanks, Cru! It is the little details that make the piece even more special. Since it seems that many did not know of their existence, I am glad I was able to capture and share the pics.

I have scrutinized the pic from many angles and I cannot make it out either. I think perhaps it is like a cloud and you can see a lot of different images based on your mood:)

I stumbled across this thread some days ago and saw that the original images were not visible anymore due to Photobucket changing their image hosting. So i got them from Photobucket and I am reposting his amazing macro photos of the hallmarks, with SaddleSC's permission, as reference for future watch enthusiasts. I hope they will be as helpful to others as they were to me.
