    For the record, “M A D” [regarding this specific thread] is not in any way associated with or linked to the esteemed OF member “Mad Dog”. :D

    I’ve seen some I’ve appreciated. This one... not so much. Would I own one... most likely not.

    You pay a large premium for the skill of the engraver, which when done well is deserved. Resale...who knows... but my 8 ball says it’s not good.

    That New Zealand watch company does some nice ones.

    If someone wants to make their watch uniquely theirs who am I to judge!
    Some of them I like, some I don't.

    But keep in mind opinions, cowboy hats and hemorrhoids have one thing in common....
    Sooner or later every bung hole has one LOL

    No everyone’s cup of tea, but I’ve seriously considered commissioning one of these...
