I had an exhibition case back on one of my 16710 GMT’s.
I really liked it and still have it, but when it went for service RSC told me I could keep it on but they wouldn’t warranty the watch after service if it was left fitted, so I had the original case back put back on.
It did make the watch sit a few mm taller on the wrist, but even despite the non decorated movement, I enjoyed looking through the window and seeing what was going on inside.
I remember RSC were quite taken by it as well, said it was a nice one. It looks very OEM when fitted unlike some.
Now the warranty on that watch is out I may re-fit it, especially as I’ve since splurged on a 5700 case back removal tool, I can fit it myself. Last time I took it to an independent to get them to swap it out.
