Nice Job, may want to remember to pressure test first if considering using it in water.

Very nice and well done. I bought one for my GMTIIc from Mr. Thomas Preik last year but still have not put it on yet, just don't have the tools and experience like most of you guys.

Thanks everyone, and it wears identical to the original caseback, it's hard to tell a .5mm or whatever it is difference

Who says the 3135 mvts aren't nicely finished! Don't you see the jeweling on that tiny little part there? :)
Nice job. Do you put fomblin on the gasket before putting the case back back on? How do you know how hard to torque it? I recall something about fig newtons. :) |

Very cool mod. I love clear casebacks. I have an Omega Speedy Pro with a clear caseback aka the sapphire sandwich. I will do this mod some time down the road on my Daytona.
