Hello r/watchexchange, up for sale is my SARB017, hand engraved by a private master engravesman from Asia. Watch was sourced in excellent condition and commisioned to be engraved via waitinglist. I am currently selling this example as I am looking to have another alpinist engraved. In the middle of the shaded out areas of the bezel you will see a small gold dot ( Real Gold ), although it is hard to see the gold accent from photos, in person its a neat little detail that complements the gold throughout the piece from its hands to markers. Please take a look at the album for detailed photos of the work done. ***Specification and condition*** **Serviced**: This watch has had its movement cleaned, regulated, has received an oil change and a pressure test - watch has been serviced and is averaging +/- 5 seconds per day. - watch case is in excellent condition / crystal is scratchless - watch comes with original box, tags and papers. **Dimensions**: 39mm diameter, 20mm lug width **Photos/Video**: [https://imgur.com/a/I4V32Ik](https://imgur.com/a/I4V32Ik) **Timestamp**: [https://imgur.com/a/nBv12Js](https://imgur.com/a/nBv12Js) ***Pricing, Payment & Shipping*** **Price**: 2000USD Shipped worldwide via Fedex express. Cost breakdown - SARB017 fullset in excellent serviced condition 750$ ( I assume it would be more with box and papers in serviced condition ) - Engraving fee and time invested 1200$ **Total**: 2000$ Shipped ( the engraver has very great attention to detail ) ex. Engravings from [Watch Engraver](https://watchengraver.con/pricing/) would cost 5000$ minimum. Quality of work differs from craftsman to craftsman, the engraver who has worked on my alpinist is very skilled / experience for the amount he charges Details of engraver: Unfortunately I was specifically told only to share details to those who are truly interested and understand that engraving would cost north of a thousand dollars and waitingtime is over a year currently without an existing deposit or relationship, He is in a country with troublematic customs so he takes orders directly from those who can fly to him in southeast asia, unfortunately because there are many who send PMs while flaking due to his unique circumstance, he has asked me to not share his details as he is already a very busy engraver within his country. **Shipping Method**: Covered via FedEx Express 6-8 business days **Payment Method**: PayPal F&F or for G&S invoice (+4.5% Paid by buyer) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Feedback**: [https://watchcharts.com/repcheck/user/audaciousco?source=reddit&type=feedback](https://watchcharts.com/repcheck/user/audaciousco?source=reddit&type=feedback) **no trades** / feel free to ask any questions
