Beautiful shot, is that yours?

Looks great. According to their site, they have clear casebacks available for subs and DJ. Does anyone know if the DJ2 shares the same caseback as any of these watches?

That's a great shot, Rob. Catches the teflon reverser gears just right.

Sapphire right?

Say... I'm curious... what does it cost to have one of these installed... and who installs them... and where?

Thanks!

I've got a couple of the sapphire casebacks, I think they are a great and interesting little mod that is a simple reverse procedure if desired.

Agreed. I'll be ordering one - just as soon as they make one for the SubC with teeth.

dalip · 30 October 2010, 02:13 PM

Looks great. Now I want one!

Sapphire yes!....
I did mine at home with replacement gaskets I had been given from my Ad watchmaker....After I had it installed I took it back and had him pressure test the watch~! All good..

Larry has a great thread on the installation of these clear backs in the reference forum..Check it out!

Excellent, Al & Rob.

If [

Very nice Al & Rob!!

Love those casebacks!

Shade · 31 October 2010, 01:38 AM

Great work guys, always liked a clear caseback..

conrail · 26 November 2010, 07:09 AM

Looks awesome! I just ordered one for my Daytona - can't wait!

Andad · 26 November 2010, 01:04 PM

Martin (Rolexman) put one on his Daytona. It had the 'Rolex' teeth but none of my Rolex tools would fit the clear caseback?
He ended up installing it with a 'rubber ball'.

Looked excellent.
