Hello

I have a question regarding the carving of initials on a Reverso :
if i want to have my initials carved behind a Reverso, must it be done at the bying time or is it possible to do it later ?

If someone has the answer...

Thanks
Laurent

Probably it will depend on where you are. Most likely all engravings are done by 3rd parties and not by JLC. For eample this is (or is one of several) engravers for the US:

Thank you for your answer ... i always thought that JLC were doing their own engravings.

Well, so i will order my Reverso, and have it engraved later on.

Thank you
Laurent

As a follow up, http://www.jcengraver.com/ is factory authorized by JLC and the sole factory authorized engraver in the US.

JC Randell, who is the previously mentioned engraver, worked on my watch about a year and a half ago. The work is superb. The cost is not as high as you might expect, and he's a great fellow to work with.

Here's my watch, which was a graduation present I gave myself for becoming a foot doctor.

OK, that didn't work quite as well as I'd hoped.
Let's try those pictures again:
