    Haven't seen many of them! Maybe 2 others over the last 5 years and the last was on WUS a couple years ago. It's pretty cool how they used a crystal for a display for those salesman's samples.

    I would love to convert my 561 Connie to a see through back (while keeping the original back in a safe place). These 5XX movements are exceptionally beautiful.

    Yes, the majority of these SMDV's were in front loading cases. It supposedly helped with water resistance, and I was told that when made in 14 or 18ct Omega could use less gold in the case because of the design.

    Kyle had/has a Seamaster display back from a screw on case back bumper model. That was a logical choice because there was no observatory medallion or hippocampus logo - just a plain flat outside.
