How could a normal person as myself check if the case is still tight enough for no water to leak in? I have a tool to open the rolex, just not sure I'd want to risk having a water leakage, for a lack of closing, to occur.

Well I did the test myself last night, have a glass of water and then put in the Rolex carefully in, centimeter by centimeter, I was nearly shitting myself the whole time :)

But I think the best way is to send it away for a check up.

His product is perfect! I am waiting for my third caseback from him, that will arive before my third Rolex. So, after having first two casebacks, i am waiting for the third one, even before i have the watch! Excelent quality!

i guess gasket has to be changed during service

Larry, great review!

I recently got a clear caseback, it looks great and showcases the older 1560 movement.

Perhaps I am alone on this one, but Rolex movements aren't exactly the prettiest thing to look at. I think I will stick with the steel back.
