How do you know how your Daytona is feeling.. well you look at it everyday and see it's soul..
What a beauty.. why would you need to look at the dial if you can look at the movement and fall in love with your watch everyday...

I don't think I am going back to the SS Caseback, I love the Rolex look and feel of the sapphire caseback...

ChicagoBigHouse · 8 May 2010, 04:45 PM

Looks great, good work! How did you install that caseback?

hennabav · 8 May 2010, 05:24 PM

That's pretty crazy!!

oztimelord · 8 May 2010, 05:52 PM

Even more evidence, as to why I'm Daytona Mad

. What a beautiful movement ticking away in there.

Best value chrono on the market.

walds11 · 8 May 2010, 08:17 PM

I am salivating. It looks great. Long live the 4130 movement.

smallcandle · 8 May 2010, 11:39 PM

Looks fantastic! I don't think I'd put the stainless caseback back on either.

Lol-x · 8 May 2010, 11:40 PM

Yes I agree it does look great. I'll be going the same way very soon.

nauticajoe · 8 May 2010, 11:41 PM

Very nice.

marshallr47 · 8 May 2010, 11:46 PM

Simply beautiful!

dubeagle · 8 May 2010, 11:53 PM

Where did you get the caseback?

nbTimes · 8 May 2010, 11:57 PM

great shots of your nice sapphire caseback!

moviefreak · 9 May 2010, 12:18 AM

Got it from www.swisswatchcustoms.com, but do not buy it directly from the site.. contact Romain at [email protected] and tell him you are from TRF so he can provide a good discount for forum members.

JUSTROLEXES · 9 May 2010, 12:32 AM

It looks great Eduardo... and nice shots as usual

sleddog · 9 May 2010, 12:47 AM

Very nice....And great pics as well!!!

mpkRolex · 9 May 2010, 12:56 AM

Very nice. Can he do it for the GMT?

moviefreak · 9 May 2010, 01:05 AM

Already has for Subs, GMT, Explorer and Daytona.

Wow that is such a lovely movement, just right for a display back

dardeca · 9 May 2010, 01:44 AM

Looks great!

acce1999 · 9 May 2010, 01:46 AM

Wow, that is truly a nice caseback. I have seen others but this one looks like it came original. Also the crystal seems to have a larger diameter ... and it is not flat!

The caliber itself... the best chrono ever built. It should be displayed like that.

Well done!

TheVTCGuy · 9 May 2010, 02:44 AM

It is absolutely stunning Ed, WHY can't Rolex offer that as an option!?!?!?

MagedMS · 9 May 2010, 03:09 AM

Perfect Close-up pix. Thank you for sharing..
Q. Does this Sapphire Case Back keeps the Daytona waterproof depth rate @ 100m. ?

fleabag · 9 May 2010, 08:18 AM

Some nice stuff on that website !!

roach7 · 9 May 2010, 09:56 AM

stunning, maybe i'll get a crystal caseback for my zenith :)

nyrunner · 10 May 2010, 12:37 AM

this looks great!

Dan Pierce · 10 May 2010, 01:01 AM

Beautiful!!

I'd love to find one for a Tudor chrono.

Anyone know if they're available?

moviefreak · 10 May 2010, 01:14 AM

Email Romain and ask him.. [email protected]

ROLEX MAN · 11 May 2010, 10:43 PM

Can you tell me please if this case-back adds to the thickness of the watch?

Jazz · 11 May 2010, 10:50 PM

Stunning pictures of a beautiful watch!!

Not sure but it is as comfortable as always.. Sheldon did a review of his caseback and I think he measured it.
From His website this is the info
Swiss Custom: 4.54mm
Thomas Preik: 4.78mm
Rolex GMT-C 116710 / 2350: 4.46mm
Rolex GMT 16710 / 2180: 4.67mm
