Yes, I’m quite happy with it...bit of a novelty, but really is a pretty little movement without any big rotor in the way

Looks great David. Does it change the thickness of the watch or the way it sits on the wrist in any way?

Looks cool.
I considered a clear caseback 1163 Viceroy a while back. It sold too fast.

That's a surprisingly pretty movement! Does it add much thickness to the watch?

Nice look, I could live with an increased height in the body to have the style.

Yes, I think it does...a little. I'll try and grab some shots that show the difference

This clear case is awesome! Was this a custom build? Can you also get them for the original carreras? Be lovely to see into an original valjoux 72! Be great to get a link to the maker if possible!

Expecting this clear sapphire back for my Carrera CS3110 to arrive next week to get a better look at the beautiful Lemania movement...will post details when it arrives!

Hi Calibre11,

That's a beautiful case back! I have a CS3111 arriving soon, and i would love to get one for myself as well. Please can you share where you got the caseback from?

Thank you!

Hi. I bought it from www.vintagecaliber.com

*Edit* I've just seen that website is dead. Hmm. You can try contacting him from his instagram account (@vintagecaliber) , but that too has been quiet of late. I did have some delivery issues, so maybe he has closed down?

Hi DC,

Thanks! yeah, I am not sure what happened to them and i realized that their instagram page seems to be flooded with angry buyers who did not receive their watch. Pity though, I am sure a lot of our members would be more than happy to support his business.

As far as I am aware, custom watch concepts seems to be the only mass market retailer selling clear case backs but unfortunately, there is no love for Heuer!

Hi all, I will get my CS3111 in a few days and I’m looking for a clean caseback as well. Maybe it is worth doing when there are more people who want this! If anyone finds a maker please let me know as well.

Never did hear back from Simon, so assume they've shut down

That is really quite something...a whole new dimension.

Really like the brand on the movement...

Sorry to resurrect this post, but did anyone find an alternative maker for a CS3111 sapphire caseback? I’m desperate to find one, that Vintage Caliber one looks beautiful! Or does anyone know anybody with one who would consider selling it to me?
