I don't usually pay that much attention to the back of the case, this one that I saw on ad ad while scrolling through a different site really got my attention.

It's very cool.

Here my (filthy) caseback .

Ignoring the shoddy presentation, mine seems mis-aligned. This irks me.

1. Can I simply remove and reposition the caseback before re-tightening to ensure the omega logo aligns in the 12 o'clock position?
2. If so, can anyone recomend a decent caseback removal tool?
3. Will the water resistance be comprimised if I remove the caseback myself?

Thanks

I love the 75th Anniversary caseback but I think this is my all-time favorite (logo design wise, not necessarily the writing):

As I understand it from previous posts about alignment the threads of your watch and the caseback you have this is the result, other people will have a better of worse alignment on their Seamaster 75th

Those are cool. I am also partial to the First Omega in Space caseback:

I know that people complain it is uncomfortable on the wrist, but I've never noticed anything different from standard casebacks.

Agree, I love it. I wish I could buy one separately to put on my black one since I’m not drawn to the summer blue enough to buy it.

Yep, it's a beauty, one of the bits of the FOIS I really love.

It doesn't bother me but now that my partner has discovered and started borrowing it I put a small circle of 3M detailing tape overtop and this makes it more comfy for her.

I like the tilt, Poseidon is always one for a good party

Find it odd that Omega didn’t employ their Naiad locking system for these commemorative casebacks.

Now I'm wishing I had made note of what model Seamaster this lovely caseback comes from - can anybody help me with that?
