I like these, but liked the one on my Tag Heuer Aquaracer WAF111Z but the Watch was to small and had to go! 😞
I had a Breitling colt superocean professional,which had a beautiful back,but i am sucker for a casted back.
I handled a Longines legend diver the other day and that was beautiful.
I really like some of the vintage super compressors they are a work of art.
Beautiful backs show that the watch manufacturer really cares.

Love the Girard one S.L 👍
Loving the clear case backs on the oris range
ah case backs
and so the lesson endeth
I'm at work, so I'm having to borrow a pic, but I had one of these - an Orsa Sea Angler - and always liked this case back. Just the right amount of whimsy.
This one for me:

A couple of photos I have to hand of case backs I still have...
Forgive my ignorance but,i have often wondered, if this has an internal cover to stop foreign bodies entering the watch.ah case backs

Beautiful back!
Very unusual, no better way to illustrate depth than a Angler Fish, nice!I'm at work, so I'm having to borrow a pic, but I had one of these - an Orsa Sea Angler - and always liked this case back. Just the right amount of whimsy.
Its actually designed to make the alarm louder and it works sort of an echo chamber type of thing. And yes there is another cover beneath it to stop anything getting into the movement

"The screw-down caseback is a large turbine-looking echo chamber, used to amplify the sound of the alarm (or other sounds that can be triggered by the various functions). Each fan blade is individually welded to the case-back".

Airwolf, B1, no contest.ah case backs

Like my super avenger case back with the conversion tables. Titanium, not to save weight though I expect, it's a beasty. I'll get a photo in the morning.
My favourite is my PRS20.
Longines conquest but no photo sorry
I love the 1960's Seiko offerings, there's so much variety
My Edox comes with this caseback
These are my most interesting.
Cheers,
Neil.
Not only the favourite one i own, but my favourite case back of all.
Some of my unusual ones,
Orsa Sea Viper
Boschett Cave Dweller
Benarus Moray BRG
Some great Case back designs there! 👍
Yes, enjoyed looking at them - thanks gents
YES ! This is the MOTHER of all casebacks !!!! :)ah case backs

The Breitling B1 is according to me the most beautiful and ORIGINAL caseback, but the JLC GRANDE DATE is also rather pretty !
A lot of AP's have great casebacks, but my fave is the Wempe Diver (scroll down for a great pic):

Watch I own:
Watch I don't own:
+1 They look so good it's tempting to wear the watch upside down!
Here's one lovely case-back ....or rather lack of
This one certainly takes the cake...
I very much like the PRS20 but.......
Engraved logo, etched serial, brushed, blasted and polished, all in one:
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
Not one of my faves but surprised no one mentioned the case back for the Steinhart Black Sea yet. Can't seem to post a link from my phone properly.
Vacheron Constantin Overseas has a great engraved ship.
This is by far the most comfortable case back I have experienced:
Assuming we can't include display backs this is my favourite. The Navitimer 01
Some of these can only be described as art!
I do love some of the Orsas, and have a soft spot for this one (never owned one, though):
