I like the clear caseback Larry.

Is that a GMT or Daytona?

Excellent photo Larry.
Is this sapphire caseback much higher than the standard Rolex caseback?

Measuring the case thickness with a Preik back I get .495". With a standard back, .472".

That is an increase of only about 20 thousandths of an inch.... or about one half of a mm.........

On the wrist, it's not noticeable at all........

The exhibition backs aren't my cup o' tea, but that looks great.

Great photos you've put up of late.

Wow, that looks amazing. What kind of Rolex is that!?

Didn't know Rolex made display casebacks. Learned something today.

The old version with the utilitarian/generic look was hardly belle of the ball but this new version looks as though it could have been OEM.

Just excellent.
