ORIGINAL: SirKenin No, it is the type of metal that is used for the backing on quality watches. It is very soft. The pen tip has to be able to hold it's spot while it is spinning, which it can do in harder metals such as gold, stainless steel and silver, but on quality watches it can not and will slide across the surface of the backing. It makes for quite a mess. Just a note, Gold is one of the softer metals used in jewlery. Unless you mean gold plated. If the watch is titianium you can't engrave it either. It's too hard. Silver there really should be no problem or stainless steel. I've never had any trouble getting expesive pocket watches engraved. Talk to the jewler or the engraver. they would know what you have and the likely hood of being able to do teh engraving you wish For a engraving how about "Yours Beyond Time" If this is a pocket watch, I stand corrected. However, I have a $700 Wittenauer and I bought My ex-wife a $300 Bulova. Both of them cheap watches when you think of the grand spectrum of watches, but neither one can be engraved because the bezel's metal is too soft. In fact, it was the Bulova that got screwed up. It used the same metal. If you want to go buy a Timex or something you should not have any problems that I know of.
