So I assume that means you prefer solid over display in general if that is the gen format? Do I tally you as a solid guy then? Or ambivalent?
That's why I tend to use 6497

Re: Debate: Solid versus display casebacks
Very interesting topic.
After a lot of brooding I've changed my mind recently and decided to use solid instead of the display case backs for my grail builds.
With all the effort I've spent to get everything as close as possible to a gen. watch it just felt wrong to ruin these efforts with using a display case back. I miss seeing the movements (240 cal and R618 Type 4) sometimes, but always can open the cases to take a peek

I gotta admit; some of these display casebacks are things of beauty. It's tempting to wear the watch upside down.

Display if movement is good looking...also practical for my warchmaker (dark?[emoji41])side of personality: I can always inspect it in few seconds[emoji106]
