I recently received a couple of extra clear case backs from Thomas Preik and thought I should take a picture of them to show off the beauty of the 861 series movement

 

I've always enjoyed (my age really shows by using this term) "exhibition case-backs". However the one shown that appears to come from Omega is most interesting. Are these available and if so where can they be sourced?

 

Yummy! Lovely collection!

Yes they are around, they come standard with the "Sapphire Sandwich" cases but I think you can also buy them separately. Archer might be able to help out - he helped me source parts for mine

 

http://www.customwatchconcepts.com sells these exhibition case backs for many makes and models

 

Ya that's who pascs was referring to (Thomas Preik) - his are really great quality as I understand. I personally prefer the original parts approach though.

 

except if they are a 145.012

 

Knowing that you mostly post from personal knowledge: How 'bout showing us why? I'll bet it's a beauty ;-)

 

Thanks Miki
Don't have an exhibition back yet.
I've been looking for one though.
But 145.012 was "First on the Moon"
so I need one.
Here's mine.

 

Fabulous! Somehow I felt you would have one as special as this one ;-)

 

It has a nice "exhibition back" too

 

Maybe - LNIB? If I didn't know better I'd tell you: "Wear in Good Health", but I don't think you'll be wearing this one ;-)
