Hi Nicolas, I understand and do agree with Anthony's point...
I was contemplating a custom engraved piece to match my wedding ring as my wife and I designed our own rings and had the designed engraved by an artisan such as in this video. I know it is not for everyone but such is my madness for having something truly unique and personalized.
I think it would go well with the ring as it would have the same design and motif but who knows 
What do members think of custom-engraved watches...
I was watching some Youtube videos and stumbled upon this artisan. I think it is truly amazing but maybe not for everyone. What do you think? Patek Philippe Nautilus 5990 fully hand engraved
I actually think it truly personalizes a watch and truly becomes an heirloom item to be passed on...
obviously this or any watch with custom engraving would not be meant for resale or trade which is why I think it does not appeal to most. If we look into the past at pocket watches we can find that some were personalized with family crests, intricate desi...

hi Nico, did you receive my message and photos of my wife's and my ring to see the details...
this was why I was thinking about having one of my watches engraved with the same patterns. Just thought it would add some sentimental value due to the link between the ring and watch. What do you think of the design?
It is all so personal
and beauty in this case is really in the eyes of the beholder. Engraving is ok to me but too much engraving as in the case with the 5990 in the photo might me misconstrued asbeing in poor taste even if it is to be a family heirloom. And I agree that only ...
