If "S" is Schaffhausen, I wonder what the "C" in mine above stands for? Someone kindly educate me. Thanks.

Sorry Champ, I don't want to know what any of those letters or symbols mean, all I want to do is have that watch on my wrist to look at - and listen to:-)

The C is for "La Chaux-de-Fonds"
Thanks Ben. So the next question is does the "C" and "S" denote where the case was manufactured? What do the different letters mean/denote? This is very interesting to me.
