To mod or not to mod?

Hi all,

I have a Speedmaster Professionsl that needs a redial (you can probably guess which one I bought if you visit the sales forum).

Since I'm already modding it a little, would adding a sapphire case back be okay? Or would that reserve me a place in the Omega Hall of Shame?

I would just love to be able to view the .861 whenever I wanted too!

Do what you like, but keep the original parts in a safe place.

You got a nice speedy there. Congrats👍
I think you mean it needs a new dial. A redial is to re paint the actual one.
It´s completely ok adding a display back, many people here do it. Just keep the original one in safe place.
Have a look a this thread:

Tritium, correct....I bought a new dial. I will keep the original dial and case back in my safe.

I'm hopefully getting an Apollo 11 40th in a few weeks and have been wondering if the factory case back for a 3573.50 or 3572.50 would fit? Or if there is another factory case back that I should use. I like having the "First Watch Worn On The Moon" text.
