    I always liked the speedyorite caseback. Pretty intricate.

    Damn! I have a Certina Turtle-back, too! I just today had to insist my slow watchmaker get with the repair or I'll take it elsewhere. He's had the thing for almost a year! "Parts, no parts!" Yet now he'll have it for me next week. We'll see...

    Here's the back of a Bucherer "Weekday"

    Although I don't own any, Enicar casebacks possess a certain charm, in my view.

    Now this is a thread I can really get behind!


    I always said Seamasters are like a pretty girl...

    nice to see both front AND rear.


    Especially if she's got a nice, clean behind.

    The modern(ish) 3594.50 has a similar back.

    I like the effort that Longines puts into their enameled casebacks. Especially these two.
