But I think the best way is to send it away for a check up.

I just made my order...hope it will be delivered soon :-)

His product is perfect! I am waiting for my third caseback from him, that will arive before my third Rolex. So, after having first two casebacks, i am waiting for the third one, even before i have the watch! Excelent quality!

Larry, great review!

I recently got a clear caseback, it looks great and showcases the older 1560 movement.

SMD · 7 June 2013, 02:59 AM

Perhaps I am alone on this one, but Rolex movements aren't exactly the prettiest thing to look at. I think I will stick with the steel back.

siuhen · 17 December 2013, 07:26 AM

Has anyone installed this on a GMT? Any picture available?

sheldonsmith · 17 December 2013, 08:21 AM

Yes, I have a link on my website that shows it installed on a 16710.

It will fit on a 116710 GMT-C but it will be slightly recessed.

The entire article is about installing on a GMT with one picture showing a ceramic Sub..

sheldonsmith · 18 December 2013, 12:36 AM

Okay, got to my computer where I can post images...

Here are some 16710 Images

Its made of sapphire so no problem I see there and as you wear the watch its almost impossible to scratch the back. Replace the gasket every 3yrs and grease it should make it water proof.

Original website doesnt load for me. Any ideas on this?

OK.....try this site.....

Good luck.

JohnBaker3 · 21 March 2014, 09:50 AM

Hey Guys;

My clear case back came today; took less than 10 minutes to do the swap onto my 16610.

The O-ring is on the case, not the case back; don't have to move it. The fit of the clear back is perfect.

It looks awesome and I can't feel any difference on my wrist.

Hats off to the German Watchmaker !!

JohnBaker3 · 22 March 2014, 12:22 AM

I came across this term yesterday: "sapphire sandwich"....

Apparently it refers to a watch which has a sapphire crystal and case back at the same time.

Hey, our Rolexes now qualify for this !!

GolfPunk · 23 March 2014, 09:31 PM

Just had one fitted on my Daytona:

brokenchains · 27 March 2014, 09:45 AM

Me, too, love it, have had it on for over a year already!!!

byodo88 · 28 March 2014, 02:28 PM

Nice product... May have to get one.

adiorandomhero93 · 29 March 2014, 09:56 AM

Just purchased one today, can't wait to receive it!

nabilone · 31 March 2014, 04:22 AM

Hi,

Does anyone know if their "116234 clear caseback model" fits the rolex 116000?

Thank you

canIwearTWOatOnce · 1 April 2014, 06:12 AM

these movements are all works of art i would love to have one of these on the old 3035 thing of beauty love it

GolfPunk · 3 April 2014, 06:43 AM

Daytona 4130

JohnBaker3 · 14 April 2014, 07:52 AM

Yes, this was a totally awesome idea; wished I had done it sooner!

adiorandomhero93 · 28 April 2014, 02:27 PM

Just had this installed last week when I sent my 1601 to get serviced

Reu · 29 April 2014, 08:42 PM

I love the look and idea of these casebacks! I just don't think I'd put one on my own Rolex as I'm too much of a pureist.

I understand where your coming from but I figure as long as I keep the original there is no harm as I can switch it back if I need to.
