Hi all,

looking to pull the trigger on a 79190 sub, but the caseback in engraved. Is that something i can change without breaking the bank?

Would it affect value positively, or not really? At the end of the day, id replace an engraved case back for a new one...

Phone the RSC They will tell you what can be done and the cost.

Yah. Call Rolex.

Many times it can be removed, without replacing the case back. Depends how deep. That’s another option.

Please let us know what you find out. I’m curious myself.

Case backs are a hundred bucks or so and Rolex seems to always want to do a service if you want it replaced.

Light engraving is pretty easy to take off.
