    You have the box anyway, so just take a pic and lap it to true... Stones like that are worth top dollar because they are top quality stones, not because they are stamped

    I had an Escher blue/green with original ink stamps. I used it occasionally and lightly, didn't lap it because of the ink stamps, until one day I lapped it. I had taken a photo of the stamps. I would leave it as is for the time being. You can always lap it, but once lapped the ink is gone. If it is performing admirably for you, why mess with success ?

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
