candide2424 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hello folks, I have searched extensively but no clear answer popped out. I was wondering how is engraving make on case. Is it manually made or a specific tool is required such as a Dremel. Thanks for your insights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Mass produced engraving can be either laser etched/printed, or machined I would of thought. Edited April 7, 2013 by SSTEEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candide2424 Posted April 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I meant for vintage watches. Some seem to have been made manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lloyd Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 The old watches used a pantograph. You can get used ones on ebay. Get a picture of any engraving, photoetch a brass plate, then make an exact copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
