Now this is a post not often seen
Dean, you are indeed a watch (esp VC) historian and detective. Our VC Indianna Jones! 
Thank you for this superb article. Makes me want to read up more on VC's deep history. I will never be able to uncover any mysteries though.
Cheers
Robin
Merci François

I'm glad you found some time to read the entire article. There is a lot going on in this story for sure. I think the Graves Observatory watch will surface at some time, if it hasn't fallen victim to some mishap. The real mystery that I'd like to solve is ...
Esse Quam Videri

LOL, did you find the Graves' family motto, Esse Quam Videri, an ironic choice for the last section? It translates from Latin as "to be, rather than to seem", in contradiction of the First First Prize watches that really weren't.
