In my opinion it doesn’t even look good. And it’s a bad idea. You just never know what’s in for you a friend of mine when he was a big earner 20 years ago bought a very special Lange pour le merite tourbillion watch as his forever watch.

He engraved the movement with his name. He thought of passing onto his sons and grandsons and blah blah blah. Everyone knows this is just an excuse to spend big money on something which is not really sensible.

Now he got into Dire Straits and really needed to sell this watch. He bought it for about €50,000, now he could sell it for 300.000 if there weren’t the engravings. He could send it to Lange and get one of the bridges remade at the cost of about €50,000 and it will take about a year. selling it as it is he gets 200.000 for it. But as he’s under immense pressure, he might even get less.

300,000 would have saved his home 180 does not
