But I think the best way is to send it away for a check up.

His product is perfect! I am waiting for my third caseback from him, that will arive before my third Rolex. So, after having first two casebacks, i am waiting for the third one, even before i have the watch! Excelent quality!

Larry, great review!

I recently got a clear caseback, it looks great and showcases the older 1560 movement.

Perhaps I am alone on this one, but Rolex movements aren't exactly the prettiest thing to look at. I think I will stick with the steel back.

Yes, I have a link on my website that shows it installed on a 16710.

It will fit on a 116710 GMT-C but it will be slightly recessed.

Its made of sapphire so no problem I see there and as you wear the watch its almost impossible to scratch the back. Replace the gasket every 3yrs and grease it should make it water proof.

Hey Guys;

My clear case back came today; took less than 10 minutes to do the swap onto my 16610.

The O-ring is on the case, not the case back; don't have to move it. The fit of the clear back is perfect.

It looks awesome and I can't feel any difference on my wrist.

Hats off to the German Watchmaker !!

I came across this term yesterday: "sapphire sandwich"....

Apparently it refers to a watch which has a sapphire crystal and case back at the same time.

Hey, our Rolexes now qualify for this !!

I love the look and idea of these casebacks! I just don't think I'd put one on my own Rolex as I'm too much of a pureist.

I understand where your coming from but I figure as long as I keep the original there is no harm as I can switch it back if I need to.
