As you probably know the PUK3 is my favourite devise I use for welding Titanium.
I was asked to remove the engraving from the back of a quite expensive watch (AudemarPiguet) so that it had more value when sold second hand.
The gold only had a thickness of 0.5 mm and sure no option to remove the serial number etc.
Filling the engraving with gold solder would have made a different colour, so I used the PUK3 to spot weld the engraving the way I kind of moved the surrounded gold, after that I used Chris stones, to make it flat enough. I only lost a 0.1 mm of the thickness, finishing it with sandpaper.
Sure the watch now has more value and look like new.
