This is a project I didn't know I wanted to do until I clicked on this thread. :)

until you realise the crown position cant and never will be correct... where is your god now? :D

This sucks... but I could probably live with it.

If its a 1977 great white, this transitional year allows pre-GW case backs to be correct, since as everyone knows, Rolex mixes up parts between new and old models during those years.

Yeah the MBW's come with red casebacks so I bought the Yuki great white caseback, already on the watch :)

This is the MBk Reg has sourced me.

Any comments ? Is this the MBK watch all you guys are talking about ?

Is the case back black engraving correct ?

I'm not a member over at Yuki's shop. What's the cost on those backs?

I bought my Yuki caseback from a member here second hand. It's been awhile, Yuki sells them for 180$ and I paid around 120$ for mine. Kinda pricey, but what are you gonna do? :)

Same impression I have.

Asked Reg. by mail.

He has the watch and will send it when back to Uk...

I'm pretty sure highoey's question was regarding the PC case back engravings (which looks a bit shallow to me). The MBW engraving is fine (once you remove the black paint filling) and as already been said in this thread some of the early GW's came with the DR case back so it's not totally out of line.

oh the PC...now that I zoomed it seems etched to me as well.

It's at home but I'll be away for 15 more days so I'll be able to see it live only upon return.

The MBk couldn't tell because of the black paint.

I ll probably leave the red case back on if that's plausible as you guys say.

How about dial ? needs to be swapped ?

it should be deep like this one i have here, you can see this one is definitely not etched (or filled with black paint :D )
