<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 433276, member: 5833&quot;]If I were the buyer, I would be unhappy with you if you did not mention or show this mark with the others, since at some point, when the light hit it just right, it would eventually pop out at me.&nbsp; Personally, I like these little indicators of its history &amp; would not see it as a negative, but you don&#039;t want the buyer to be someone who does.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find it interesting that whoever put the number there did so on the diagonal rather than lining it up under the other marks.&nbsp; I have the sense it is meant to connect with the maker&#039;s mark.&nbsp; Artisan?&nbsp; Model? Inventory?</p><p><br /></p><p>Think sometimes this was done when a watch was repaired/serviced.&nbsp; Pawnshops also did it; may still for all I know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
