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 originals, but I much prefer the unscripted one from Thomas Preik, to me it looks 'blend in'. Do give your speedies a lease of new life by giving them what they deserved!

Have fun guys!

I thought the original Omega caseback works well on my 'modern' 1861, no?

My favourite 105.003 and it's Thomas Preik Case back, to me it's superb!

My ex 145.012 and its original Omega caseback, looks great too on crown guard speedy!

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

and don't forget to have a crazy fun year ahead!

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...

Excellent photomontage, Marv! :) [nt]

That shot is almost HCB! Cool Mech.

As long as I can keep the original case back, I agree with you, Mech.

By: amanico : December 26th, 2009-07:19

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 ...

affordability?

Nic, thought this was never part of your equation ? hahaha Mech.

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...

i found a simple bodge it solution for that problem Bill

By: G99 : December 27th, 2009-15:02

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...
