How long is a piece of string?Wow this is amazing. Just wondering, how much ballpark is it to get set up with some halfway decent tools to start fiddling around with this? I might need a new hobby after seeing this thread..
Well, that is goodMistakes? I don't see ANY.
I consider myself an artistic person with a degree in Industrial Design and fifteen years of experience as a graphics/technical designer but I can honestly say that this is out of my league.Having tried to engrave a little, I can say that it is way harder than it looks! If you do not have the talent for it you can learn it - but it will never be really beautiful.
Here on the other hand we see someone that has the talent, and thus the result is great! :-!
You know, I had to go and look up Sottomarino to see what the MSRP was, and I was actually surprised to see it listed for $180, and even more surprised to learn that you probably spent less than $50 on this. Extrapolating on what I see here, to my untrained eye, I would expect to see something more along the lines of $2000.Well, this is finally starting to take shape.

Unfortunately time is up for now and I can continue probably in 2 weeks.
I got it for 41 USD, plus local taxes, so, about $50. Despite the price, this watch is rather perfect canvas. All the engrave-able areas are large enough to accommodate more interesting scrollwork. Also I can engrave it while it is assembled - big no-no for more expensive watches, I think.You know, I had to go and look up Sottomarino to see what the MSRP was, and I was actually surprised to see it listed for $180, and even more surprised to learn that you probably spent less than $50 on this.
