Watch Engraving by Expert Watchmakers
As certified watch repair technicians with extensive horological training, we're uniquely qualified to engrave timepieces safely and properly.

At Fast Fix, watch engraving is one of our specialties.

Popular inscriptions include "30 Years of Service," dates marking achievements, or personal messages from loved ones. Our watchmakers open cases using proper tools, execute flawless engraving, replace gaskets as needed, and ensure water resistance is maintained.
Premium Watch Customization - Trust your premium timepieces to watchmakers who truly understand luxury brands. We've engraved countless Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer, and other high-value watches, always using techniques that preserve value and maintain manufacturer standards. Our precision work and proper reassembly ensure your luxury watch functions perfectly for generations.

Common Engraving Questions Answered
When will my engraved item be ready?
Typical turnaround is 3-5 business days, balancing speed with quality craftsmanship. Simple single-line engravings on readily accessible surfaces may be ready in 1-2 days, while intricate designs, watch case backs requiring disassembly, or batch corporate orders use the full timeframe. Reach out about expedited service if you're working with a tight deadline - we'll do our best to help.
Can I bring outside items for engraving?
Definitely! The majority of our engraving work is actually performed on items customers bring from elsewhere. We accept family heirlooms, online purchases, gifts, vintage finds - essentially any item suitable for engraving. Our jewelry expertise means we can confidently accept valuable and delicate pieces that standalone engraving shops often refuse, providing professional service regardless of where you obtained your item.
What text options do you offer?
We offer an extensive selection of fonts including classic serif styles, modern sans-serif lettering, elegant cursive scripts, traditional block text, and decorative specialty fonts. When you visit our Coronado Center showroom, we'll show you font samples and help you select styles that complement your item and match your vision. We can also match specific fonts you provide or recreate particular typefaces when you have something specific in mind. Letter size and style selection considers both aesthetics and practicality - some fonts are more legible at small sizes, while others shine in larger applications.
Is engraving permanent? Can it be removed or corrected?
Engraving permanently alters the surface of your item and cannot be erased or removed without potentially damaging the piece. This is precisely why we take extraordinary care to ensure complete accuracy before starting any work. We review your text in writing, verify spelling and punctuation, confirm proper names and dates, and get your approval before proceeding. Our attention to detail and thorough verification process prevents errors. In the extremely rare event of a mistake on our part, we'll work with you to determine the best resolution, which may include refinishing options or, in some cases, replacement depending on the item and circumstances.
Is there a character limit for engraving?
Character limits aren't fixed rules but rather practical guidelines based on legibility and aesthetics. A ring's interior might fit 20-25 characters beautifully while appearing crowded with 30+. A bracelet could accommodate a full quote if engraved on multiple surfaces or links. We guide you toward text lengths that work well for your specific item, considering factors like material, available area, and how the piece will be viewed. Our goal is engraving that's both meaningful and visually pleasing, not simply maximizing character count.
