Thank you for the clarification.

Hello Mike,

Thank you for the clarification.

I hadn't even realised that it was a different model - I was more interested in showcasing the actual movement for the movement section of the review. Of course I'm still glad that you mentioned it. It's always best to avoid any possible chance of confusion.

Also, thank you for posting the picture of the true SBGW001 caseback. I have not seen that picture before. As you said, I never would have thought that the screws could be so intricate! Are those seals (o-rings)? What a novel idea. It's very reminiscent of a Rolex triplock crown. I can't recall seeing any other manufacturers using similar caseback screws. I wonder how functional they are, and whether or not the added 'complexity' has the potential to introduce any problems?

Judging by the earlier photos it would seem that the screw sinks are not functional when it comes to sealing the actual movement, so it would seem likely that the seals are there to prevent moisture incursion into the sinks themselves. Very interesting.

Thanks again.
