Let’s see your case back engravings

Would love to see your case back engravings ����

I just got married and was gifted a watch by my wife as a morning day present (hooray). It’s definitely a keeper, and we want to get it engraved. Would love to see the different types of engravings you guys have.

Thx

Does it have to be a Rolex? My wife fell in love with a JLC Reverso, over a PP that I rather favored. That's why I don't buy her watches, I go with her to shop for them. BTW, a shout-out to Ulrike at Windsor in Charlotte, who helped me use an engraver who was local, saving us much waiting time.

Whatever you do, make sure you add the date ... it’ll come in handy lest you are forgetful.

Great thread. haven't engraved any of mine yet, but I'm seriously looking at a specific Reverso to celebrate a career milestone and would like to get it engraved by JLC themselves.
