I think what militarymania is trying to say is post a closeup of the words? I can barley see the letters but not clear enough to make them out!

Looks Masonic to me as well. Here's my gold one for comparison.

Here is a vintage 32nd degree Masonic watch fob with the triangle pointing down like yours, but with extra Masonic symbols (all-seeing eye; square & compasses; sword, hammer & chisel).
32nd degree isn't exactly a rank within the Masonic Order, just an optional level of instruction that entitles you to join other Masonic organizations like the Shriners.
33rd Degree - which is the last level - is by invitation only and limited to a small number of individuals in each country.
Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks for the info all. I couldn't get a clearer picture of the printing but it appears to be exactly as shown on Guy's response
