    Looks awful to me, but undoubtedly skillful and artistic. What happens when the engraving gets scratched and scuffed?

    Certainly makes a PP more pleasing to the eye.

    I certainly admired the skill but the result isn't to my taste. Hard to improve on the amazing level of finishing on a PP watch. Seems a shame to try really.

    Agreed.

    The tools must be bloody sharp / made of really hard metal. It looks like "hot knife through butter"

    Brilliant craftsmanship, but I wouldn't want either watch.

    Out of interest I thought the Rolex 915 steel was supposed to be industrial strength, he cut through it like butter.

    I was thinking similar but I suspect the magnification is deceptive in that video. He's working at such a fine scale I reckon his tools are about 0.5-1mm across the face, so a huge amount of concentrated force.

    Tools look like carbide tools aswell so the SS would yield for sure.

    Amazing talent! The designs on the above are in the Art Nouveau style. They would be more suited to a ladies watch like a Cartier or an Omega. I think the Sub and the PP would be more suited to an Art Deco style of decoration. That would look really amazing.

    I personally like the look, I’d consider having it done to one of my watches... maybe my modded SKX, now that would be interesting!

    I quite like the designs, and much better than diamond encrusting the same watch.
