Does anyone know of a jeweler/watchmaker/laser "guy" who can do this type of work?

I found a picture of what I'm looking to do but on an old beater. Not what I'm looking for but for reference.

AFAIK Rolex never did bark on steel or TT, though there are plenty of YG and a few WG bark DDs. I’d think most jewelers could create a similar effect.

I used to see it on DayDate Watches. I always thought it was ugly.

Tend to agree

I love the bark finish of the old 1803s and 18038s. Looks great on the center links and bezel. Paired with a linen dial, it's just something to behold.

I absolutely agree with this.

The Watch Polisher (located in UK) could do that work for sure. Try to contact him in Instagram and have a look at his works, but I have heard that he has a big waiting list. Hopefully smaller than “the Rolex AD list”
