Icon20 Install my caseback

I live in SO CA and I need to have someone install a clear case back and do a water pressure test for my SubC.

Please let me know if anyone knows who or where I can ship it...

Thanks

Don't. Rolex movements are nothing to look at.

Still look better than the plain caseback. If Rolex actually engraved the backs like most other manufacturers, I might agree with you.

Tom please post a pic once you have this done, I for one love the clear casebacks. Rolex movements in my opinion are great looking if only for their simplicity. What brand did you go with?

Well I just ordered one last night from Thomas Priek and can't wait to give it a try. If I don't like it then it will not be the worst 140 bucks I wasted.

While I personally don't care if my watches have a clear case-back or not, I have to agree that a watch movement doesn't have to be "pretty" to be impressive and once installed, as long as it preserves the integrity of the watch, I would see no reason for it to be removed.

The novelty might wear off after at time, but you could still admire the movement when the notion strikes.

I will for sure.


Thomas Priek is where I got it from
