<p>[QUOTE="Gus Tuason, post: 4508810, member: 10012"]I believe that originally these watch fobs were made as seals. I have a couple where the printing is in reverse. Over time, the engraving was made to read directly. For some time now watch chains and the fobs have been repurposed. I have seen many fobs attached to necklaces and bracelets. Likewise, many watch chains have been repurposed. I believe that in many cases "re-purposing" is acceptable but where family heirlooms are concerned it's not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
