Aftermarket Sapphire Caseback - Anyone seen this seller/manufacturer

omegamike · Sep 17, 2019

I have been looking for a good Sapphire caseback to my FOIS. I know the Priek option but don't totally love the look. Has anyone seen this?: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sapphire-E...480021?hash=item1cd97619d5:g:hiMAAOSwM81dJg1-

Not sure how janky the movement bumper thing is or not. Let me know your thoughts.

I was looking at those also but was a bit concerned about having to remove the movement screws but i see this new version does not require that.

The Omega Sapphire case back also uses an o-ring between the movement ring and the case back so maybe his new method would be fine.

It would be good if he updated his pictures with the new design because they still show the movement without the screws

I wouldn't count on the water resistance, but seems like a cool mod to do

If you want to see the movement (hence the transparency) why put the text in the middle of things? I don't think that I'd like the look of the movement partially obscured by the white writing. (that and it is probably some sort of trademark infringement...) I had a sapphire caseback on my daytona for a while, but switched it back as it added several millimetres to the thickness which made it impossible to get under my shirt cuffs.
