I have an SMP ceramic. I love seeing that detailed seahorse on the back...but I also love watches with clear case backs. Maybe this is ridiculous and unheard of, but is there an option to swap out the case back? Is it scandalous to pop my red for something like this?
If the SMP has a different model with a clear case back, they should be an ease swap job - get the replacement part from Otto Frei or Cousins UK. If that doesn't work, then there are people who do custom clear casebacks. we've discussed it somewhere on the forum, but can't remember when/where.
Its possible but something you need to consider is that the movement isn't the prettiest of Omega movements, and is also very small, considerably smaller than the Cal 8500 width wise, so it looks a bit like this: (Image from ablogtowatch) See how tiny that rotor is in the 41mm case?
