Initials on RO bracelet

Hello all,

It's been a while since I've posted but I finally acquired an AP 15400.

Love it!

Btw, I noticed initials on the inside of the bracelet. I'm thinking they were from the previous owner. I like to think they are from the watchmaker that spent countless hours handcrafting my beauty. See pic. It kinda gives it a personalized, made-with-love & TLC feeling I don't get from Rolex. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Cheers!

To my knowledge all AP bracelets have a marking (Letter) on them. I know mine does. I know the AP gurus will chime in soon and correct me if I am wrong.

Also Congrats on the 15400

Mine is a 25960BC, and there's no markings like this one.
