I agree. My vintage Tissot has a man's name on the case back and the year 1963. I have no idea who he was, but that information suggests that the watch meant something special to the man who owned it.

Now that’s better!
Thanks, I just purchased a clock with a plaque that relates to a competitor in the 1932 Olympics. It was in pretty bad shape and is now on it’s way to a professional restoration, but I can’t wait until it’s finished and will proudly show it on here! |
