Caseback wear and tear

Hi everyone, as always I hope everyone is happy and looking forward to a wonderful weekend.  I'm writing once again concerning the platinum RDM Reverso.

My AD has one that is pristine in every way, except that when looking at the caseback, (the part that sits on your wrist), the REVERSO and serial number engravings are not as deep as they were when the watch was new...you can still read them but it's obvious that this particular piece has been worn quite a bit, but treated with kid-gloves as well if the condition of the case is any indicator.

My question is whether this is normal, whether this is something to worry about, and whether Jaeger can re-engrave the caseback.  Also, is the case-housing platinum as well, or would it possibly be made of stainless steel?  Any information ya'll can supply is most appreciated.

Oh, and when not wearing the Reverso from day to day, is it ok to leave it sitting on it's side, (deployment buckle prevents it from laying flat), or should it be upright in a watch box?  Is on it's side all right for the movement?  Again, thank you, speak soon.  Best.
