Will Rolex ever come out with a see through case back

[infinitypws]

panerai has see thru caseback made of sapphire and these watches are rated 300m/30bar
panerai is equally critical about water resistance with their history linked to the italian navy seal



the reason why rolex doesnt make see thru caseback for their watches is probably because they reckon their movements to be utilitarian workhorses rather than pretty decorated art pieces

anyway, you wont want to look at a rolex movement - they are just plain ugly
If Rolex decorated their movements, that would be a different story

Agree with you, most probably the 'engineering' department doesn't talk to the 'design' department

just so how are you seeing wat time it is ? it's still through the glass. If they can make the front glass to handle it, i don't see a reason why they can't make the back the same

a sales lady in Bucherer told me that Rolex does/did have a transparent case back model.

Why rolex doesn't make open case back? Well, in my opinion, glass case back means water may goes in and rolex is very critical about water resistant their watch.

If I'm not wrong, i been hearing ppl saying that wus thats a seller selling watch glass case back custom made for like maybe omega or perhaps rolex.

not for their sport models...but i would be most love to see them coming out with milgruss GV front-back green sapphire.

That would kinda beat the whole purpose of being a Milgauss if there's front and back sapphire sandwich right?

i tot it will be easiler to tell fake from real with a see thru back?

[jflye]

i doubt so?cuz if thats the case, it will be very difficult to tell between replica and real already... =)

Wonder if we will ever get to see a Rolex watch with a see-thru caseback
