Would an engraving take away from the resale value? and if so what %?....

It's all a matter of perspective..

.......... Let me say though... I think that there are too many folks who are overly concerned with "resale", as opposed to having and enjoying their time-piece..

But......... now-days, casebacks are standardized as to fitment and inside markings, and so it is easily replaced at a proper service for a nominal cost if you don't take it off yourself as we show in the Reference Library..

I had a chance to buy an engraved back Rolex from the local newspaper years ago a local guy was broke needed the cash . I stayed away because of the engraving - Gareth Wood 1985/86 South Pole trek-

Good news is someone else bought it and returned it back to him as a gift.
