Very cool inscription.
Did you provide a proof for the engraver to work with?

I'm thinking of doing something similar to my GMT IIC for my son. Would the vibration from the engraver hurt the movement in any way, or do they remove the caseback to engrave?

If it were just letters it would have been £1 a letter, but because it was a emblem together with the malarkey of removing & refit of the ceramic = £70

Very nice work, Chris. Is this a follow-up to the thread here a while ago about engraving a caseback, where it turned out that Rolex would do it?

Was this done at a Rolex RSC and if so, which one?
Thanks, Sheldon

That's some nice engraving work, Chris!
By the way, since nobody's put his hand up yet, I'm up for adoption!
