<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 416462, member: 5833"]There's a lot of shallow chipping around the edges of the holes, suggesting that what went in was hard enough to do the damage & was either hard to fit in on the first try or some owner had trouble doing it. I'm being Sherlock Holmes here. In one story he deduces that the person who lost the watch he is examining has a drinking problem because of all the scratches around the keyhole. (Benedict Cumberbatch does the same trick with the port for the power cord on John's mobile phone.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
