Emotions were running very high, at a fever pitch at that moment - it was
not the normal practice of watchmakers to scratch more than their names and
the date of service. Still, I see it as unprofessional, then and now. It
bothers me when I see for example sports columnists in the newspaper make
snide remarks about the President that have nothing to do with their job
(they did this more with Bush - Obama is (for now) their hero).

It did not impair the good working of the watch though and gave the
newspaper a good story. Imagine that in year 2159 a similar story
