Engraved case backs

[howie77]

I haven't got anything at the moment, but seeing Stewart's Certina Turtle thread reminded me how much I love engraved casebacks.

The Citizen NH8020/NH8030/NH8050 aka the Dolphin is a nice example

My favorite caseback is the PP 1200m. Damn, that hippocampus (sp?) is nice. No pics, as I don't own one.

Back of "G,Gerlach" ORP "Dzik" shows a Polish Navy IIWW sub (this one was earmarked for Polish Navy in the yard) the other one of the Twins (N97 ORP "Sokol") was an ex RN S-class HMS "Urchin". The "P54" watch has black dial, "N97" - white. Not counting the hands and etchings on backs, the two are otherwise identical. Sorry, I have none now, hence only a link to the pic on G.Gerlach page.

The engraving was probably inspired by this pic of the "Sokol" (German flags are souvenirs from sunk ships, Jolly Roger on top means the hunt was successful).



As the photo was published in some wartime press codename had been retouched.

Posts like this demonstrate how great a loss the display back of the new planet ocean is. The new movement just aint that pretty - the old caseback is.

Don't like the watch, but the caseback was wicked!

I don't like much writing on the front, but I like loads at the back.
