Which ROO has see through back case?

I was wondering if the ROO see through cases at the back are after market or only certain models have them ?

44mm chrno's and most of the LE's come with see-through backs.

42mm ones and divers don't come with see-throughs.

I've been searching the 44mm, they seem to be stainless backs. For example the safari, volcano, navy ROO don't have see through backs .

Those watches you mentioned are actually the 42mm ones. They don't have see-through case backs

When I check eBay , Navy , Panda and Safari ROO are listed as 44mm .

http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUDEMARS-PIG...item1e60691c54

Are all the sellers incorrect?

The panda, safari and navy (as well as the diver, bubble bee, themes, rubber clad, etc) are listed as 42mm by AP but they do wear a little large. The 44mm novelties and LEs wear even bigger.

Yes they are incorrect.

Check the Royal Oak Club online database if you need to check any of the details.

That's one of the reasons I went for a 44mm ROO instead of Safari, even though I think Safari is classier. I wouldn't feel entirely satisfied paying 20k+ for a watch, where almost all the 'additional' cost is in the movement finishing, without having a display caseback.

Note that basically none of the ROCs have a display caseback too. A shame, since they are almost the perfect dress/sport watch.
