Hello Everyone! Im cutting a watch for a close friend and want to drop the design off in here for a critique. I spent some time with my pencil and paper as everyone had suggested in earlier threads. Erasers are wonderful things. I poked around and saw some advice Sam and others had given in other related threads so hopefully my designs are promising.
Ok so to start off i penciled up the sides of the watch I plan to engrave and used tape to transfer it over. from there I outlined my " engraveable space" and went to town. Initally I started on the small transfer but decided to scale up for the sake of visibility.

Excuse the two seperate groupings of photos. I plan to do the leaves running up to a center peice which is probably going to be a block A. My leaves are spaced 3mm apart and the side of the watch is 6mm high for the majority, until near the band where it tapers to 4mm. I saw sams crossover ribbon tutorial but wasnt sure the best way to end my leaves and start the crossover.
On the face i planned to use the same pattern, with a small leaf stylization at the ends near the bezel. Not sure of the best terminology for these things. hopefully the drawings explain where I cannot.I didnt take a picture earlier but I also experimented with ending with a large foldover to fill near the bezel.
The watch is a swiss army black iodized stainless steel. Any good ideas for protecting the quartz face?
Thanks everyone
