hello all,

I'm looking to get the back of my BB41 engraved as the title suggests. Rather than the possibly more run of the mill engraving like a date or phrase I'm looking to get something a little more .. graffiti? inspired.

I'm looking for something close to this



VOIZ just in case it's completely illegible

onto this case back



Does anyone know if this can be done / who could be trusted to do this well? It's a very sentimental watch (there at the birth of my son / death of a grandparent) so don't want to send it to 'just anyone'.

it would be great is someone had an artistic approach (I'm thinking like a tattoo artist who can contribute to the design and not doubt improve upon my stick-man like effort) and bounce some ideas off etc. Based in the UK.

Thanks in advance

I've always wondered if the vibrations from engraving loosen parts inside of watches, anyone know..?

You could always get this woman to do it: https://www.tiktok.com/@that.blacked.out.lbz/video...

I would have thought the caseback gets removed.

You could mark the orientation you want and send the case back

We have used a firm here in Hatton Garden, London with excellent results

Rather than hand engraving or machine engraving, the process uses a laser to 'engrave' the required text/image. Resulting in a clean, crisp image.
