Congrats, that's awesome!

Congrats on your Subc date. That was quick. You can always engrave it, now or later.

As long as you don't touch anything but the caseback, not all that expensive. Worst case scenario, new caseback and it's back to factory. Often a simple polish will fix it.

EDIT: NVM, just saw you got and engraved it. Congratulations.

TK-710 · 8 November 2019, 12:25 PM

Congratulations. Looks great. Good call on the engraving.

Your watch and your kids are worth more than our opinions.

airchitect · 8 November 2019, 01:38 PM

Why all the hate for engraving??? Pretty ridiculous. OP, if you want an engraving on YOUR watch then make it happen. I have a GMT that I wore during one of the biggest events of my life.....it will be engraved. Period. And if I ever need a new case back, then I will get one. No big deal.

Ny325 · 8 November 2019, 05:34 PM

Enjoy the the Submariner. Once it’s passed down, that person would know the sentimental value of it. No need to engrave it.

Token74 · 8 November 2019, 06:20 PM

I wouldn’t do it. We all think we’re going to keep watches forever. We very rarely do.

That said, I bought my son a BB58 for his 21st and got that engraved. But I did that to make sure he doesn’t sell it!!!

Don’t engrave now, perhaps get it engraved when you pass it down.

Great call on the engraving, gerobak. I've been wearing my engraved Rolex (from my parents) for over 30 years! (& anytime I wear a different watch I kind of feel like I am cheating on it.)

This watch will mean a lot for me.
It will be my first rolex, actually the first rolex that will be owned by my family tree. I actually want to buy this for my children, so I can inherit this for them.

I am thinking to engrave it <LastName>'s First or "Only sell, in case of emergency"
who knows... they mess up in the future, they could sell the watch to prolong their lives for couple months or days

Question for you guys: How much engraving will reduce the resale?
I need serious answers guys for this could be the life and death situation for my children!

Meanwhile... Here is my current Tissot that will not be forgotten!

The Paul Newman Daytona was engraved with a note from his gifting wife, and that watch did ok at auction!

Just buy another case back.

Ssunnylee24 · 11 December 2019, 07:54 AM

Yeah, no engraving, those are corny.

TheWatchmen · 11 December 2019, 11:21 PM

Your watch, I say go for engraving. You can get another case back without breaking the bank

Meyrin · 12 December 2019, 01:51 AM

Enjoy your Sub! I woudn´t engrave the case back, but that's just me. BTW, I love that Tissot! I don't think I've ever seen that model before...lovely dial, all round very elegant!

jeffnnj · 6 January 2020, 01:25 PM

I'm actually thinking about "Do not sell this fucking watch. Dad" on the back of my DD

TempoKing · 6 January 2020, 02:41 PM

Do you see why I love TRF

mountainjogger · 6 January 2020, 09:15 PM

I would not engrave it.

Sublovin · 6 January 2020, 10:01 PM

If you want to engrave, do ahead. Your choice

TonyD · 7 January 2020, 12:21 AM

My wife and I have several watches with engraved casebacks. 10 and 20 year anniversaries got some nice memories added. It makes it more special to us.

If in 50 years my nephews want to sell them then the caseback can easily be replaced.

Wcdhtwn · 7 January 2020, 12:26 AM

I’m not a fan of engraving, but you can always get a new case back if you do engrave then decide to sell.

If you want to discourage future generations from selling it out of the family tree, engrave “Display Only, Not for Sale”.

H25B · 7 January 2020, 12:33 AM

Any ideas on cost of getting a 116610 caseback and whether an AD would be able to get one..?

Position is less important than boxers vs briefs. I think if your junk is kept cooler (with boxers) you’ve got a better chance for a boy. I’m not a doctor, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
