New Members PaulMitchell Posted October 2, 2011 at 10:43 PM New Members Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 at 10:43 PM My father received a watch as a gift during one of the first trade missions to China in the early 1970's. He worked for McGraw-Hill Publishing company at the time. My Mom has asked me to find out what the inscription on the back of the watch says. Attached is a picture. Thank you for any help you can provide with translating this. Paul... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiaocai Posted October 3, 2011 at 11:21 AM Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 at 11:21 AM It could be a phonetic translation of the name du Pont. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members PaulMitchell Posted October 3, 2011 at 11:45 AM Author New Members Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 at 11:45 AM Thank you for your response. That makes sense, as the manufacturer of this watch was the Dupont company in Paris. I was hoping it was something more interesting! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
