Alpha Chronograph Glass Back?
Since there is a company for glass back for a Rolex Daytona is it possible the same glass back can fit the Alpha Newman Chronographs?

Maybe. But, the glass back may cost more that the watch

The glass back is worth it to show off this movement! Maybe better looking than Rolex Daytona movement IMHO

Is that sarcasm? A bit too early for me to tell.

I don't think so. Take a look at Mikey's pic, that's a nicely finished movement.
I'm going to have my watchmaker spin the caseback off mine and see whether my Rolex Sub caseback fits. If it does, then the glass back will fit it and I'll order another.

I have the Tianjin Seagull Chrono which uses the same movement and comes with an original glass back.

Don't have my own pics. Camera broken and send for repair, but I borrowed some pics of the same watch from the web.
