Following with the solid CB for a 372 theme, look at this Risti in action. I wonder where he got his CB

Ok I got the case back from Athaya with the OPB engraving and a Nightwatch case back without engraving. Both of them are the thicker version meant for the 6152/1. Nightwatch has a thinner version that he sells and he has it listed as a 372 case back. That one is thinner and as a result probably not as solid feeling as the thicker one. Having both the Nightwatch and Athaya case backs in my hand they both feel solid. After installing both, the thicker size compared to the display back is not noticeable. I am on the same strap hole with the solid case back as with the thinner rep display case back. Although both the Nightwatch and Athaya case backs are solidly built I am keeping the Athaya case back on the 372 because of the OPB engraving. It is highly polished, great quality and looks great on the watch. Anyway, on to the pics!

Looks great and it's a smart solution for the affordable Noob version.

There is a thicker version, the one used on the 6152 (which will fit the Noob 372 as well).

I got both of this from Gordon, the thinner one is from DSN and the thick one is the one offered on the 'modern vintage' case. They both fit the Noob 372

I believe I was sent the thicker caseback by mistake. I ordered the skinnier one. Hhhhmmmmm I might be wrong

Quick pics of my two 47mm pams. One with a display back and one with a solid case back.

I also have decision between thinner or thick one. (I like the engraved Antaya very much)

If I compare thickness, I fear, that the thick one looks too thick (for non vintage watch) for 372.

Here is 1:1 comparison, installed on the case (it seems, the thick one is more than double thicker):

[MENTION=1599]watchpt[/MENTION] : Can you please tell me what strap is on your 372? It looks amazing!!!

I tried to join the hommage forum, but 3 different e-mail adresses were rejected, so I can't see Athaya's offers and works. Where is he based? Does he ship to the EU?
