Thread: More white-knuckle work

    More white-knuckle work

    Reproducing the factory engraving on a pair of *I think* 1960's Rolex Oyster's my watch guys are refurbishing. I hand digitize everything using photos of the original watches. I had to do the backs on both sides, and serial number the cases. This is one of them, they came out okay, thankfully!

    I'm glad to hear someone else gets white knuckles. I sweat too.
    Guns for sure, especially the service weapons and jewelry for sure.
    Had this 24k dogtag I re-engraved for a customer along with Bible Verse on back.

    Yes, Customer provided sentence....

    I checked it probably 10 times making sure it was written correctly, incorrectly......
    Somewhere over $3000 of gold. I can't imagine hanging that around your neck all the time.....

    Definite pucker factor when mom hands you a JA charm bracelet with a dozen names to put on different charms. Calls them "her babies".
