See through case back?

[ddebo]

Dear RWG~

Hello. Good afternoon.

i am trying to find out custom version of caseback for 3714.

i've just heard someone could make this for 3714 but, have no idea

if you guys know about this, Could you help me?

i do not have any watch which has see-through back so, i want to modify if possible

Thanks good day

best wish,

D

Emm, I was wondering why don't you buy a Pane with see-through case back instead? I think having a see through for this model, even if it exists one takes away the feel of the whole watch.

Rubbish, I think dresswatches (which the 3714 is) can 'wear' a clear caseback without anyproblems. It suits them. As opposed to rugged divers watches.

Besides, you wouldn't notice it on the wrist.

Somebody here has a very nice (-82?) franken with a clear caseback.

I can make a display back for almost any watch, but hey I'm in Europe. Still, if I can do it, any watchmaker with a lathe and some good dies (or threading capacity) can do it. The glass/sapphire can be either friction fit or installed with its own gasket, which is a pretty cool solution if you ask me. Post on a local forum and see what responses you get. It just takes a few hours in most cases (no pun intended!) Of course, if you have a gen case, the whole display back should be made from scratch from a piece of stainless stock. If it's a rep, then there's no harm in modifying your existing back, and it goes even faster.
