I was studying the inside of the clasp of the 93150 bracelet currently on my red 1680 sub and noticed a hand-engraved number, 15524, there. Looks like it's been put there with a handheld electric engraver. I've heard of service centers engraving the S/N of the watch there, but it doesn't correspond to any Rolex serial numbers I've seen. Any ideas? Maybe a work order or invoice number from a non-Rolex service center?

I have seen older watches with numbers lightly engraved at top of rear clasp.
