Caseback of the day

Post by Richard D »

The dial gets lots of attention and photographs, yet the caseback with all its detail and variety often gets second billing. Time to show what’s hidden on your wrist today.

I’ve throughly enjoyed looking at each photograph posted. Some I’ve immediately recognised others not so. That Bremont does look good as does the CW TRIDENT caseback, one of my favourites. The simplicity of the Rolex IMHO is perfect.

Probably the most inspirational inscription found on a caseback.

Brilliant idea! I’ve enjoyed the photos so far. Depending on the design, the caseback can be like this wonderful little secret between the watch and the wearer.

My contribution. I love this caseback design but wish it had a bit more relief to it.
