I think movements are cool to look at, they're what got me into this interest of watches to begin with!

nick c · 9 July 2015, 10:20 AM

Great idea

Rockrolex · 9 July 2015, 10:25 AM

I've got a couple with display backs. I never look at the backs. But to each his own.

WAK4 · 9 July 2015, 10:36 AM

Looks great

Tools · 9 July 2015, 11:05 AM

Looks great...

No sissy movement in a Rolex..

WatchinMD · 9 July 2015, 11:16 AM

It's cool to see it.

JRT · 9 July 2015, 11:35 AM

Great case transparent watches especially AP ROs in your collection. Daytona's case back is really not good enough to show off, but it is better than nothing!

jjnd08 · 9 July 2015, 11:41 AM

Very nice mod, Thomas!

But that 5205 though...

Your pictures of the ROs are making me anxious for tomorrow. I can't wait to get it on my wrist!

Trouble15 · 9 July 2015, 11:50 AM

Nice!!

viper9669 · 9 July 2015, 12:31 PM

Nice mod Thomas, looks good!

DJ TT 2002 · 9 July 2015, 12:35 PM

Good work Thomas

It looks great, I'm very happy for you.

Yes, I would blame Larry's (Tools) post as well. I have looked at it many times and been tempted...

AS1 · 9 July 2015, 02:24 PM

great work my friend! hope all is well.

Andad · 9 July 2015, 06:39 PM

Hi T,

I have a clear case back for my SS Daytona.

I haven't tried it for size yet.

You may have pushed me.

Yeah... Just having a little fun with it. Be well.

I hear you. I still like taking a little peak now and then to see the heart of that watch (any watch!). Best.

Ha! Thank you my friend. This was an old pic though.

I hear you. The rolex movements are nothing special to look at, but I still enjoy it. Be well!

I hear you my friend. It's not something I do every day, but once in a while I'll take a look at the movement to make sure she's alive!

I just made sure I saved my original case back in a safe place.

jhe888 · 10 July 2015, 01:32 AM

I love a display back, but we all have to admit that Rolex movements aren't much to look at. The rotors cover too much. They aren't designed to be looked at, which is fine, but it makes a Rolex a less good candidate for a display back.

rle737ng · 10 July 2015, 01:44 AM

Nice. Your BT obviously approves.
