Which Leads Me to Believe . . .
In Response To: Yes, but... ()

The similarity between the script on the red Cal 12 guy and the blue Lemania 5100 guy leads me to believe that whoever was putting the word "Silverstone" on the Lemania 5100 watch had access to the Caliber 12 Silverstone, but not a correct 5100 Silverstone, so he copied the script on the Cal 12 guy, and hoped for the best.
