Agree to disagree.  For a part of the watch you don't see much, I like being able to see the working of the guts when taking on/off.  Is one of the things I don't like about my Datejust and my Breitling - the others have sapphire casebacks which i love. 

I guess this attitude is why they do it, but it's a cheap trend IMHO and sentiments like this essentially let companies off the hook for charging more and providing less.

It's like seeing a Porsche 911 with a transparent hood and expecting Honda Civics to have them as well.

I'd take a Civic over a Porsche with a transparent hood.

Especially since there's nothing under the 911's hood 🤷‍♂️

As a longtime lurker and having little worthwhile to contribute, I will just say thanks to everyone on this thread for learning me up on watches. I am starting to get hooked. Just got a Nomos for Christmas. Thanks again for the info and suggestions. Hope y'all have a great holiday. Hook 'em!

Looove NOMOS.  I was gifted a Limes, another German watchmaker.  Nice work

That’s a gorgeous watch

Oh hello fellow Nomos owner!
