Finepics Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 Most of you are aware that I am working on a killer 3646 project and today I took the crown, which I had removed the raised Brevet lettering from, into Harrods watch repair department to have the Brevet and the cross engraved into it and to my complete suprise the company that they have sent it to in Manchester are the same company that engraves the FA cup and have done since the dawn of time - chuffed or what!!!

See, stuff like that, it adds character to a watch. I'm chuffed for you.
Everythingape Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 Being a Norsk, and an avid Arsenal supporter I am a bit chuffed too, I think it might have been some kebab I ate earlier.. anyway; Here's a rep The FA Cup back when Jomtien United won it

slay Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 keep us updated about that crown. At least I'm highly interested!
jonthebhoy Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Nice story finepics. May I be so bold as to ask what they are charging for the engraving? JTB
Finepics Posted September 3, 2006 Author Report Posted September 3, 2006 Only about £2-3 per letter - whole job should be £30-40 with the securicor to and from there. It's not a lot in the scale of things!!
Edge Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 So when do we get the pics of you lifting the mighty crown aloft in front of 70,000 fans?? Just don't make plans on it ever happening at wenbley lol. Kidding mate chuffed for you as it just adds sentiment to the piece, and will help ensure you don't want to ever sell it. Edge
baltic Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 It's been a while since 'Newcastle United' was engraved on the FA Cup *sigh*...
Finepics Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Posted September 5, 2006 Even longer since Leicester City were on there!!
gran Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 Being a Norsk, and an avid Arsenal supporter I am a bit chuffed too, I think it might have been some kebab I ate earlier.. anyway; Here's a rep The FA Cup back when Jomtien United won it I truly enjoyed that one Arsnal sure has a great team and the best player in the world but LFC and START are my fav.....
