Really like the caseback... I agree the speedy copper finish looks great. Where did you get it from mate? i wouldn't mind getting one for mine? If you can make the 21st? Bring those two and your Seadweller? Be great if you can but if not we can always have a beer clser to your kneck of the woods in September?

The caseback came from Thomas Preik in Germany. The prices shown are in Euros but in my case included shipping. I know some other glass-backs require a spacer ring to be inserted (often not supplied) but this one seems fine without one. I just unscrewed the original caseback, flipped off the dust cover and screwed on the glass-back. 5 minutes and a total transformation.

The only other change was to remove the 1171 steel bracelet and fit a brown leather strap so I can take the watch off and properly admire the work of art that is the movement.

Amazing to think that such a great piece of engineering has been kept under cover for over 40 years.

I am hoping to be there on the 21st and I'll bring it along for inspection.

Changed over to this, well just because I can really.

Cheers,

Gary
