Interesting...

I'm sure it's no coincidence that Phong Dinh is also located in Scottsdale, AZ

I don't know if I would trust this guy to engrave anything -

[indyberetta]

I agree! lol ...but remember the Polex watches? Maybe he was the original engraver? lol

I wonder what engraving machine that is used to do this????

It looks like a Gravograph M20. Nice machine.

I picked up a pantograph style diamond drag engraver, along with a few different type sets, a while ago. I just haven't had much time to play with them yet...

Too expensive IMO. I had mine done at a stall in the mall. The font is pretty basic.

Just look for stalls in your local mall that engraves lighters, pens, etc. and

check out their font selections.

I'd say it is expensive! I had engraving done a few years ago via the mall special. cost me $30 for both lugs. Font was not identical, but very close. If his fonts are identical, as well as the engravings, maybe I'll fire him a best offer of $50! That is about all it is worth.

Yeah, but think about it from his perspective....

He's probably buying generic Rolex cases for $20 a piece in Vietnam. It's easy to import them, because they have no registered markings. Then he adds the engravings with this machine, and he can suddenly sell the same cases for $800 to $1200!

Now he's just reaching out, to let you have a little bit of that action too
