This is by far our most successful product to date. Many of you have been asking questions about it so we thought we would try to answer them all in this post.
SWC has created a transparent case back for Rolex in sapphire and steel 316, which is the highest steel quality used in the watch industry. This custom made case back was engineered to fit perfectly the case of your Rolex watch. It will not affect the resistance of the watch to the water.
SWC offers two different finishes on the case back.
1. One case back with a smooth satin finish and a beveled sapphire crystal glass.
2. One case back with a satin finish, fluted pattern design and a beveled sapphire crystal glass.
Please note that the fluted pattern is purely decorative. The key made by Rolex to open watch case cannot be used to open and close this case back. The SWC case back can be installed easily with a rubber fitting tool as shown on the picture. It can be installed by any watchmaker shop with the basic equipment. Please make sure to ask for a water test control.
