Recently got this in mail. Should i pull the trigger? watch is almost brand new (june-12)

Psmith · 27 July 2012, 11:26 PM

Sure, why not? Isn't that why you ordered it?

If you are not happy, you can always revert to the original caseback

impalass · 28 July 2012, 12:27 AM

You've come this far, go for it.

I'm guessing it's a Thomas Preik piece, excellent product, have one on my Speedy.

IMHO, not something for a submariner, but, if you've got it, why not give it a spin at this point?

malarky_hk · 28 July 2012, 12:38 AM

Put er' on and then post up some pics!

jujin · 28 July 2012, 05:15 AM

do it! I'm thinking about getting one for my GMT...

patek.wis · 28 July 2012, 05:18 AM

i want to see this 10000x

AeroEngineer1 · 28 July 2012, 05:20 AM

Do it and then take pics, because I have been curious myself

mjclark32 · 28 July 2012, 05:25 AM

I like the idea of the transparent case back and I'll probably put one on, but I'm going to wait till my watch is out of warranty. Never know what's going to happen and putting one on will void the warranty (I think).

Tijssan · 28 July 2012, 05:31 AM

Easy and safe mod - try it to see if you like it!

Z-Sub · 28 July 2012, 06:05 AM

love to see it after it's done

gwalker · 28 July 2012, 06:07 AM

Use it. Easy to swap it back if you want. Cool mod IMHO.

A.J.R. · 28 July 2012, 06:12 AM

Put it on!

Very nice!

roadcarver · 30 July 2012, 11:53 PM

Very nice :)

novan3 · 31 July 2012, 12:54 AM

Is it still water proof to 300 meters?

SeaDweller50 · 31 July 2012, 01:01 AM

The owner won't be diving to 300M so it doesn't matter. Very nice. Love the blue spring.

My guess would be that it is, as traditionally the crystal is not the weak point. That said, I'd pressure test before going down there.

DJJon · 31 July 2012, 01:10 AM

You bought so you must want it, so slap it on and post pics !

I think there are more finished movements that make the clear case back more enticing, but it is still cool to watch the Rolex movement heart beat.

Bruno C · 31 July 2012, 01:27 AM

looking good.
Congrats

Blueinsert · 31 July 2012, 01:45 AM
