[Recommendation] Customized Watch
I am trying to get a customized watch (Custom face, engravings on back) for a very close friend of mine. A big event is happening in roughly 6 months from now and I would like to gift him the watch there.
Been reading the wiki and searching a good bit but could not find a store/manufacturer that sells customized faces/engravings.
My budget is up to $400, but if it costs more to create the watch I wouldn't mind shelling out an extra $50 or so.
There is a symbol that is very important to him and I would like to have it on the watch face and his name engraved onto the back.
A leather or metal-linked strap is what I am trying to get, as the use wouldn't really be for "outdoors".
Where can I get a watch customized along with the face?

Only thing i know of is undone watches which gives some options on engraving and initials on watch face.l, don't know about symbols.
Timex also had a customization option for engraving.
Think those 2 are decent quality options at the price point.
Something from a place like Etsy would probably be very cheap, that eventually just isn't wearable/garbage (sometimes people find that okay to have something sentimental they don't actually wear, if that is what you might be going for).
You could get a modded Seiko SKX or something but the watch alone would cost at least $200. But probably isn't too crazy to do something creative.
Engraving on the back is common, watch face a bit tougher.
