Well well, that is some beautiful work
THX, feeling produktiv & honored… But still a long way to go with a lot of booby-traps…
Even they are manufactured in France, they are very rare in Europe, been trying to find one for ages
catched two of them (a straight mechanic one & a motorized one) for really a penny! …& found some authentic Rolex-fonts for my casebacks, too!

I believe this is New Hermes but newer, they changed the name to Gravograph.
Would this be usable for watchcases?
@newest dude on the forum

This (Gravograph IM2) is exactly the one, I use with 5/8" condensed fonts for the serials with a diamond tip! The Gravograph IM3 (the electric one) runs fine on the casebacks with bigger fonts... Ans BTW: Hermes and Gravograph are the same (as I figured out, they just used "Hermes" as a brand name in US...

Also found this one, a bit older - would this one have any significant disadvantages against the other one I posted?

Yeah, that should do it. You'll just need a jig to hold the case properly

From my perspective: This is the right one, because of the rotating 360 degree jig... They never get old & you'll get every single sparepart, if needed... I made the piece you commented with exactly this one ...
