I just received these three pocket watch from another jeweler. One is the sample and the other two are what they want engraved. It seems to me the only way to engrave them inside the lid on the interior movement cover is to pull the hinge pin from the cases to fully expose the interior back. This seems risky on an old watch as the hinge tube could break or crack open. I can't really see engraving with the lids in place and open.
I think I should decline this job or ask the other jeweler to pull the pins. They want four names in each. Seems like too much with the lid on. Maybe one name but not four.
