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.



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.

 

4-3
Reference 2777-1 RAF 53

Thin Arrow Dial

 

Can we play tic tac toe?

 

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

 

3-4 Zenith Respirator on it's original bracelet

 

Emergency a lot to read on the case back

 

No argument there!

I’m making a list, checking it twice.

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

I don’t know, can you? It’s a pretty simple game, so if not, I’m sure you can learn it.

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.

That’s how it’s done! But there is no 1/16th prize.

 

Keep going folks, I've noted four or five so far so keep posting and feeding me.

Or even PM me with your answers!

 

1-1 Bulova Marine Star Chronograph
3-1 Breguet Type 20
4-1 Omega Speedmaster 105.003

One more for tic tac toe

 

Darwinism at it finest, preying on the other members. I approve.

And three more for @JimInOz !

 

3-3 Airain type 20

4-4 Dodane Type 21

1-4 omega 2777 thin arrow bienne

4-3 omega 2777 FA

1-2 Longines MN

1-3 Tudor snowflake

Think I got these couple right

 

Not bad Chad... only one miss. And you made an interesting pattern.

 

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.

 

2-2 Lemania 6bb single pusher

2-3 Zenith rainbow fly back?

2-4 JLC memovox?

4-2 Bulova super compressor

3-2 Omega Speedmaster Gemini 40th LE 3565.80.00

Few more maybe

 

1-4, Omega 2777-1, broad arrow

Perhaps if you all team up...
Good thing I didn’t include three or four of these 2777-1s.
