right ill give you all the method, i got some cheep black nail varnish and i got some nail varnish remover, i cleaned the engraving with the remover to get the grease out of the engraved text. Next i shook the black nail varnish and applied it all over the text and left it to dry for an hour or two, next i got a thin razor and cut away the access black nail varnish. basicity cutting the top off it leaving a flush finish of black engraving. hope this helps !!! it makes the watch look more and more genuine !!! good luck if you whant to give it a try

Crayon, black paint, many many options on this one.

 

To the OP: looks great!!! Well done!

How did you not scratch the bracelet when using the razor?

I did a little but I used some wet and dry in a small piece of wood to fit in the gap and they just came right out !

Looks great, what would your method be mike, I would guess after a while this would wear off

I heard of someone using gun paint to do this

I really want this mod on a gmt 2c

 

I wish you could just buy the gen part :(

Really ? How come on women's nails it comes off then, it's bound to crack at some stage then look odd, don't get me wrong it looks great. Maybe you get get a good nail varnish I'll ask the girlfriend :)

I suppose it's tucked away to in the clasp
