Hello.
I like very much the "Explorer models" (or the Military Style Watches with great lume) of small size (36-39 mm); the problem is that all those models have all steel caseback... :cry: (the only ecception I know is the Sandoz Explorer).
Do you know any further watches (with the above characterics) that have the transparent sapphire caseback?
Regards
How nice.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
My "dream watch" is a
Precista PRS 17 A (or also a Speedbird) without date and with sapphyre caseback...
Eddie, could you build a similar watch?
I should be ready to buy it.
Regards
A veiled request, Eddie?
To me a glass-back is of little use unless it's to see a decorated chronograph movement. If I want
to look at a standard ETA movement I can look it up online.
Not very common them. Not much space to decorate on. And invariably chronos tend to be automatic.Originally Posted by CR

Every watch a story.
No -- not common. I have a Sinn 103 SA HD Valjoux 7760 that has pearlage, Geneva stripes andNot very common them.
blued screws. I once had a Glycine Lagunare Valjoux 7750 chrono that has pearlage, blued screws and an
signed rotor. I also have a PAM 112 "F" also has all sorts of decoration (on what amounts to a Unitas movement).
Sorry -- no pics today!
Display case backs were invented for ADs in order to sell watches. In a diver they just provide one more entry point for water if the seal wears a bit. I don't use them.

Hello stranger, nice to see you back here.

Good to be back. I moved our family 500km north east to just outside Sydney (Camden), which is now frustrating for google searches for businesses as they mostly come up in the original Camden in London!
See you in the bear pit Ralphy ;)
