Kevin, I love it and love, love the clear caseback. Many don't but that movement is nice in my eyes, fancy, no but still great to be able to see it. Congratulations!

How does one get a clear case back? Certain models?

Aftermarket part not Rolex OEM. Thomas Preik is the maker of the OP's if I'm correct... I also remember reading somewhere that at one time decades ago Rolex did offer them or maybe I'm dreaming this...

Rolex does have 1 model with a clear caseback. But most people automatically think if its clear its fake because so many terrible fakes have clear backs.

But the one i purchased is not cheap and its very well made. And it passed the pressure test. Nothing special, its just something i always wanted.
