Calling all amateur and semipro watch builders / assemblers RE: engraving

I'm considering sourcing the parts for a watch from AliExpress (of course) for my son. I am thinking about personalizing the case back. Has anyone had good luck with an engraver? I want this to look good, not like I did it. Would love to pick your brains.

You could do metal etching which uses a template, some tape, some salt water & electrical current.

That sounds promising. If I screw it up, I won't be out much. If it looks like Ray Charles did it, I'll see if I can find a professional.
