Engraver in NYC

[pietermann]

Hi guys,

I've been a reader on the forum for a while and today, I finally decided to register :).

I'm thinking of buying a Rolex Sub C on my next trip to NYC and when I'm there (for about a week) I would like to have the back engraved with a personal message.

Do you guys know any good company's who can do that in New York City AND can do it within a few days/hours?

Thanks alot :)

I'm sure there are many good ones who do engraving by hand. Don't go to someone who uses a simple machine as it won't be nearly as good. Sorry, but the only one I know in NY is Tiffany, but they only work on their own products.

If you can't find someone good in NY, I can recommend a true artist (David) in Berkeley (NoCal). I have included some pics of David at work below.

Find him here

Wempe on 55th and 5th can do it in 2 to 3 days. If you check out their website, you can send an email to get more details.

Wimps is also a Rolex AD so you know they will handle the watch properly.

Oh, thanks for the info! I was already thinking on buying the sub at Wempé on 5th, but I had no idea that they did engravings...

Can also anyone tell me how is the price policy is at Wempé on Rolex's? Totally no discounts or maybe a 4-5% discount? Fill me in guys :).

Thanks!
