Inspired by @Rman ’s Caseback Appreciation thread https://omegaforums.net/threads/caseback-appreciation-thread.80144/ I thought it might be fun (for me anyway) to run a little caseback-themed competition.

Let’s see who can be the first to determine which of my watches match the casebacks pictured in the grid below.
You must include the both the brand and commonly used name for each watch (acceptable form determined solely by me), e.g. Patek Phillipe Calatrava or Zodiac Sea Wolf, with the exception that any Omega MUST also include the watch reference number. Some will be ridiculously easy to identify, others, not so much.

On the grid 1-1 to 1-4 is the top row & 4-1 to 4-4 is the bottom row, left to right. I am confident that OF members (with a few exceptions🙄) can figure out the grid coordinates for the other rows.

The first member to post a complete & correct list in this thread will receive a fabulous mystery 😕 prize. ::psy::



Good luck! 🍿

3-2 Omega, best LE ever made.

Just a tip for those that might need help. Very often the backside is not pictured. So it will truly be impessive if this is figured out.

Hope to see the Christmas pic contest resumed.

It's very hard to win naughts & crosses on a 4 by 4 grid. Good luck everyone.

Very nice example, I want more of these - DIBS. But your answer, while ever so close, is incorrect. 😲

Can we play tic tac toe?
I don’t know, can you? It’s a pretty simple game, so if not, I’m sure you can learn it. 😜

Emergency a lot to read on the case back
This contest is about my casebacks, not yours. That Brietling does have a lot to read, but press on, I’m sure you’ll get through it. 😗

3-4 Zenith Respirator on it's original bracelet
That’s how it’s done! But there is no 1/16th prize. 🙁

That is literally the exact watch I had in mind, but then reminded myself not to get too cute considering there are so many varieties of these with the same case back. Lovely example👍

The Breguet and Speedmaster are in the wrong position.

Indeed they were. 🤦

Fixed, thank you. 👍
