Caseback question

[mannyv11]

So I recently put some money down on a 42mm 2500 Planet Ocean at my Local AD. I got a fantastic deal on it better than used prices are going for here so needless to say I'm pretty happy so far.

Now for the question I see that the new 42mm Ceramic models have a clear caseback. Would I be able to have my AD actually order a clear Case Back from Omega and install it on the watch? I wasn't sure if case sized are anything were different from the 42mm 2500 to the 42mm 8500.

Any tips would be great thanks

Congratulations, it seems as though your AD could answer this one, or Fr. John..........

Well in all honesty I asked the AD but the guy I was speaking with didn't seem to knowledgeable. Nice guy gave me a solid discount, but didn't know the product very well at all.

wait till you get the watch and then call Omega or swing buy a boutique store...I agree clear backs are super cool, I was going to order one from http://www.thomas-preik.de/ and then I thought, who's going to see it

There are no clear case-backs for the 2500 PO that I know of. I don't think the 8500 would fit nor would it be worth its probably $1,000+ price.

I too like sapphire backs but the 2500 PO back is amazing and I find myself enjoying it more and more (and I also like it as there's one less seal to worry about leaking).

He does make some awesome stuff. I was thinking about one for my sub as well, but i'm getting the caseback engraved (my fiance got it for me as a gift for our wedding). Granted the wedding doesnt happen for another year or so doesn't stop me from putting it on from time to time.
