David,

I've never thought about engraving at a slight angle to gain better access to limited engraving areas. I learned something new today.

A have a big question I'd love to have answered. How does one remove a pocket watch cover? It can't be that complicated.

I've Googled the internet for information pertaining to the removal pocket watch lids and covers and have come up empty.

You could still charge the $25 because of the extra dis-assembly and re-assembly required, but it would be less risky.

David, I've never tried to remove the cover, mainly because there's a small spring to deal with. I can imagine the spring shooting across the room, never to be seen again. >.< Sometimes the pin in the hinge can be tapped through the opening, but they're often pounded flat or crimped somehow, to make the task more difficult than it would appear. Probably quite easy for someone who works with watches and has the proper tools. Timepieces are another lucrative area, where many engravers fear to tread. BTW - The $25 was charged to a trophy shop client, who will probably resell the engraving for $50. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA
