Perhaps an odd question for you guys but has anyone tried to fit a different case back onto this model? I wonder if they are the same thread and size as a normal Speedy pro.

I suspect that a Speedmaster Pro case back and plastic crystal will fit this case. The difference is in the straight lug and the crown protectors, makes no sense to change the other case dimensions for the same movement.

$60 but you can almost always repolish it back to new
whats about the cost of sapphire crystal?

Maybe I can help pushing you in the right direction by showing mine on the handmade shell cordovan strap that I changed to during the summer? ;-)

Yikes, it is Takai.
Is it the same size as the ones that go on the sapphire pros?
Would a plastic crystal from a pro fit on the FOIS?

From what I understand the plastic crystal is not compatible on the FOIS.
Perhaps Al can explain it.
