Engraved casebacks can look so good when well done. The Omega Speedmaster 300m Nekton is a perfect example. Best regards Captain
Love the selection of Omega casebacks this week Abel.

I don have too much in the way of Omegas in my collection but do have the following two. Can’t really call yourself an enthusiast without a Moonwatch and the ‘57 is the second version of this reissue that I purchased - gave the automatic version to my son...
Many thanks Abel.

Most of my purchases these days are movement related. Not to say that I’ll buy a watch with a dial I don’t like just for the movement. It’s so nice to see the market now supporting the ability of true artisans to continue their trade and make a sustainabl...

Hi Art.

Definitely can see the similarities here. The oversized balance wheel and other pocket watch features are the common denominator. Nice to see that the Vingt-8 movement has a natural escapement too.

Hi All My picks for favourite caseback include. Had too include this one - an alarm with a crystal back 🙂 Another alarm - this time a Vulcain. Probably the most verbose caseback ever ! Then there is one with a legend on the back Finally a bit of a cheat w...
Thanks 👍

I hope you receive your Bond 60th Anniversary Omega soon, as I know you will enjoy it so much. The Soyuz is a special piece to me in several ways, something we can talk about sometime 😉 Thank you for being our host for WristScan this weekend. Best regards...

Talk about using real estate for marketing: the Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometre takes the cake for self-promotion: This one is a sentimental favourite; although most of the caseback is crystal, to display the lovely movement, some custom engraving around...

Such a cool feature …
By: Cpt Scarlet : July 28th, 2023-17:12
The hatch concept perfectly suits the design of this watch and is surprisingly practical.
Another very cool theme!

Here are shots of my past and present Pateks. It was one of the things that allured me to the brand decades ago, and back then display backs were not very common. ...
I remember the days …
By: Cpt Scarlet : July 28th, 2023-17:10
When Patek didn’t produce display casebacks unless contained in an officer’s caseback. How times have changed !
Ha ha …
By: Cpt Scarlet : July 28th, 2023-17:59
That’s what watch collecting does to you 😉
Thank you very much Abel!
By: KCLQMULKU : July 28th, 2023-21:04
I equally like and enjoy closed case back watches too. Not only can it add that added art to a timepiece, but also provides an enjoyable mystique (sometimes showing less means more 😉).

Wow !.. Another really nice, and almost artisan series !
By: hs111 : July 29th, 2023-08:59
Specifically like the Constellation Observatory caseback; also the UN diver and the Bulova ( which, BTW is a terrific & cool watch, indeed desirable !), the famous Geophysic (the Planisphere) & the JLC Navy seals and of course the Seamaster horse ...
Wonderful photos of your Panerai Eilean …
By: Cpt Scarlet : July 29th, 2023-09:56
and also one of my favourite casebacks, the Bulova Mil Ships. I absolutely love your vintage Vintage 1960’s Technos diver, it makes me think of the Cousteau era.
Very glad for your comment

It’s a pleasure corner for me when looking craftsmanship movements from each and every pieces I own, I still try to learning what the difference and characteristics of each brand
Thanks for your admiration
