  • Sapphire Caseback on a GMT-C


    Hi All,

    I just recently purchased a Swiss sapphire caseback for my GMT-C and installed it over the weekend. The caseback on my GMT-C is pretty cool. I added the installation steps to my DIY page at http://www.minus4plus6.com/caseback.htm#116710 along with a comparison of the caseback made in Germany.



    I know some feel that clear casebacks are sacrilege, but in my mind there is no other way to wonder at the micromechanics inside.

    All spelling/photo errors are mine, so feel free to point them out.

    -Sheldon

    (BTW, I also added some cool watch item reviews over Spring Break)

      Thanks for sharing. Come to think of it, this is the first time i have come across a case glass back for ROLEX. May i know how much did u pay for the caseback? Is it a custom made or bought off rack?
      Thanks

        Will it affect water proofing?

          Nice...but I am thinking someone who modifies an expensive watch like this is either having many expensive watches or is very rich, or both
          Watches are like potato chips - You never stop at one

          Never political, seldom diplomatic, always honest

              Not rich, and just careful....

              The casebacks are available at Swiss Watch Customs ( http://www.swisswatchcustoms.com/sap...case-back.html )

              These are also available on eBay at a cheaper price. Pressure tested to 10ATM (same as my GMT).

              I have more info on this model as well as the German variety at http://www.minus4plus6.com/caseback.htm
