Daywatch 4 Posted November 6, 2014 It´s artwork - You can like it or not. For a ladies watch it looks great, maybe better suited on other more rounded brands/models. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soopah Spy 0 Posted November 6, 2014 That's the kind of bank note engraving I'd normally expect to see on a high-end shotgun or collector Colt or some such. It's quality work... but I'm not sure it's quite right on this watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tesmith2112 0 Posted November 6, 2014 How about these...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soopah Spy 0 Posted November 6, 2014 Okay, on the Radiomir? Much better. Better flow, more vintage feel to the basic case design, so it takes the engraving better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simms 1 Posted November 6, 2014 Ok on the PAM but the AP....not for me at all. Firstly seems feminin, secondly just too overpacked with detail which detracts from the work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyRock 0 Posted November 6, 2014 This type of work is quite difficult. These people are beyond artists, they are like freaking Da vinci. People with skills like these work mostly with coins and pressing proofs. Absolutely fantastic and amazing skill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Modificata 0 Posted November 6, 2014 Wow. That's amazing. Looks more feminine than masculine but amazing work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baxter 6 Posted November 6, 2014 That's the kind of bank note engraving I'd normally expect to see on a high-end shotgun or collector Colt or some such. It's quality work... but I'm not sure it's quite right on this watch. you're right ... says on their site that they do work for purdey and Holland & Holland. Must admit whereas i'm a sucker for real skills like this i want to like it more than i do, can't quite make my mind up whether it works for me or not. Margrette did something similar with the Mauri designs. I wonder if a more geometric design would work better on the Diver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hornet 1 Posted November 6, 2014 Just looks wrong on what is a modern watch, might be suited to antiques. I bet liberace would have bought one.... .....it would have been right up his alley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted November 6, 2014 Hmm...to me, perfection is not when you can't add anything more, but when you can't remove any more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g.man 0 Posted November 6, 2014 I think the AP looks stunning. The rubber strap seriously needs swapping out for something more appropriate though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
