i love a display back Speedy. not true to the original, but so what

the speedy movement is good enough that it deserves to be shown off. the finishing is better on the OEM 863/1863 display back models, but regardless of that, the movement should be seen.

i would encourage anyone who has a speedy to get a display back for it so you can chop and change as you wish.

here's my 321 calibre with aftermarket display back.

to be honest, i wish i could find someone to make aftermarket display backs for some of the vintage handwind movements like the 286.

I thought the display mack model with the higher finishing on the movement and metal brake came with a saphire front too..!! I would prefere the hesalite front with a display back but didn't think it was possible without buying the regular model and addin...
