Its a hard call for me...
Hi Everyone...
display backs for the Speedys.... I am torn , just due to the fact you have to remove the anti mag cap and then add a spacer ring to keep the movement from flopping around inside the case. Maybe I am just too old school for them. I actually have a hand made display back that my watchmaker made years ago and gave to me... It is still sitting in a draw..
The watches and the movements look great....

Speedies and their Casebacks!!!
Do the vintage Speedies deserve to wear a see through caseback so their glorious movements can also be admired? The answer is a resounding ' Y E S' to me, why hide those beautiful movements? I acquired sapphire casebacks for all my Speedies, some Omega or...

Superb post!!
Ahhh, I just love those Speedies! One of the most undervalued watches, imo.
Agreed!
The Speedmaster deserves a display caseback, and I know at least another couple that shares our view...
As long as I can keep the original case back, I agree with you, Mech.
Yep, the 321 is a real nice movement I have the pleasure to admire in my VC " Les Historiques " Chrono. I'm doing my homework on the Speedie, to see which one I could add in my collection. That's a hard work, my friend, as those I'm in love with are very ...

i found a simple bodge it solution for that problem Bill
i got a custom display back for my 105.003 and the movement wobbled a bit in the case so i found a knackered watch in my bag of bits, took a gasket out of the back which was just the right size to fit into the space where the spacer is needed and bobs you...
