Not until we properly evaluated the infraction...and gave it some intense study and a reasonable observation period...

After all, we're thoughtful and sophisticated

Brilliant, how do you think of them?


Whenever I've been to RSC Bexley to collect after service, bezel insert change etc, the guy always asks " have you seen inside your watch?" & spins the back off for a viewing, I really like that

Also like the torque-wrench thingy they put caseback back on with, thats really cool

Nice caseback, Jocke!!

Does it need a special tool to open it?

I see the movement of my TT Sub every time I put it on, thanks to my German aftermarket clear caseback.
