Questions About Watches That Can Be Engraved
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not an engraving is real depends on the material, region, or era the engraving is from. Consult an encyclopedia or art expert for precise information on the authenticity of an engraving. Find a collection of expertly-vetted engravings from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Rolex started laser-engraving the rehaut in 2005 in an attempt to make their famous timepieces harder to counterfeit.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Wood engravings differ from woodcuts due to how the wood used to produce the printing plate is prepared. With a woodcut, an artisan saws the wood right along the grain so that they can easily carve into its surface with a knife-like tool. For wood engravings, an artisan uses end-grain wood. Because the wood is much harder, it must be worked with a special needle-like tool, allowing an artist to produce an image with a much higher degree of detail. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of woodcut prints.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, all Neil Lane rings are engraved. The designer's name appears in script lettering along the inside of the band. Personal engraving is available from some authorized dealers of Neil Lane jewelry. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Neil Lane rings.

- What is a moonphase on a watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A moonphase on a watch shows the current phase of the moon as you see it in the sky.
