Professional moonwatch aftermarket case back
This is a follow up of a previous post
Finally the day comes.... Today I go to a local watchmaker to change the case back on my hesality moonwatch.... Lucky me... The watchmaker don't open the watch and say this will not fit... Because is an aftermarket part... OH thank you...... can you leave open my watch I will do the work at my home (I have the tool and everything but I was afraid to do the change by myself, but this annoying watchmaker give me the courage to do so) Long story short here is the photos.... The case fit amazing the o-ring fit perfect... The look I love it.... Best of both worlds to be honest

Looks beautiful!!!
Makes me wonder why omega hides such a beautiful movement! Today I ordered the pieces from omega (through my AD) and can’t wait to do the same!! Congratulations!!

Yes I can't understand to be honest.... The 1861 looks amazing.... Here in my country is at least 3 to 4 months waiting time to get a omega strap... So with that said... Aftermarket was the better choice.... Ebay $115 the sapphire case and the O-ring include.... The results amazing.... And the plastic brake don't bother me at all

Hmmm. I’d love to know the part number of the sapphire display case back...
Please pass long. Would be cool to put on my hesalite Speedmaster. What’s the cost..? |

People used to customize Speedys all of the time when there were more parts available.
As long as you keep the original parts, I see 0 problems. Nice looking piece. |

Yeah, there's something special about being able to see the movement through an exhibition case back. I need to add a watch to my collection that has this feature
The only reason I can think of is obviously keeping it true to the original specs. I bet you'll be spending a lot of time admiring that beauty! |
