It's almost as the movement originally was made for the caseback! Great looking watch and movement. I read several places the six number on the movement tells the movement is a certified chronometer.
Yes please, count me in. I have two 45KS that I want to preserve the caseback and see the movement! I'd like to be closer to the $50 price point though. Thanks for posting!
I'd just like to mention that someone managed to create a clear caseback (not for a king seiko) over on the WatchUSeek Forums and sold them for $15 shipped so it's definitely possible.
Hi watch geek, I just got the same King Seiko last month and now you make me want that clear case back too!! Still waiting for your full review of that watch.
I’d be glad to get this clear caseback for my 45-8020. Did you finally managed to make a few of them? Any clues on how to get one? Thanks for your support 😊
I am on the hunt for a clear caseback watch. Some of those movements are just mesmerizing. The Tag Heuer Grand Cerrera is a nice one. I never even considered modding one of the watches in my current collection. Hmmm. The watch in this video is super classy.
~ I have always (watched) your channel (however) have not placed a comment . . . ~ I'm always on the lookout for great watches, such as the one seen in this video and the mod upgrade is PRIMO! ~ GOOD JOB and NDEED it looks GREAT! ~ I would be interested in buying a King/Grand Seiko watch - unfortunately - I have already purchased (one of my grail watches) which is the 2018 Rangeman (Japan import) prior to the release to the US market and YES! - I'M LOVING IT! ~ So, I need to wait, but will bookmark, save and favourite this video to remind myself that I have another purchase I need to make.
I have a GS 4520-8000 and would love to preserve the gold medallion on the caseback. Also fascinated to see the movement too. I would be interested if you find a supplier or make your own as long as the price point wasn't overly expensive.
Watch Collecting Strategy there are so many vintage watches with exceptionally looking movements that I don't understand how there isn't a company specialized in exhibition casebacks for them
2021, because of ur review, I just purchased a KS4502, and I would DEFINITELY WANT a clear case back😆 (Worried it might be too late to leave a comment 🥺
WatchGeek, do you know if the current supplier that you are discussing with able to custom make display caseback for omegas? I also have an omega FOIS that I’d love to get a display caseback for but just couldn’t find one on the market. Thanks
I'm quite interested in adding a see-through case back to an old AGS Seiko (so that would be quartz) from the 5xxx calibre? (is that what denotes the movement) line. It's 5M22-5860 (maybe) Is one of these the case size? How can one be sure what might fit? Any input is appreciated. Thx
Wow! Looks a lot better. Do you know if you could do that for any watch? I'm sure my watches with a 6R15 movement might not look as nice but it's still cool to be able to watch the movement at work.
Wayne Gillespie That is a beautiful watch. I would very much like to have one. I'm new to this. Never bought a watch that wasn't new in the box. How do I find one like this. Would like it to be in very good shape like yours. I don't really want to have to do much more than service it and put the display case back on it. Can you advise me. Many thanks. Enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
Can someone do a list of all the Grand Seiko and King Seiko reference numbers that the case back would fit. I’m thinking about getting a King Seiko 45-7000, would that case back work for that model?
I bought 4502 7001 few minites ago after watching this video! The caseback is what I image! I also found the caseback seller, but 4502 7001 caseback seems discontinued. Are you still interested in making the caseback more popular and easy to buy?
![[TECH] SEIKO "KING SEIKO" 4502-7001 "45KS" Teardown PART 1 - The Case](/img/1.gif)
have the same KS and would love this clear case back. Count me in.
It's almost as the movement originally was made for the caseback! Great looking watch and movement. I read several places the six number on the movement tells the movement is a certified chronometer.
Arguably one of the greatest high beat manual wind movements ever made!
Yes please, count me in. I have two 45KS that I want to preserve the caseback and see the movement! I'd like to be closer to the $50 price point though. Thanks for posting!
Great to know, if I manage to find someone willing to produce in low numbers I will make a video on it to let you guys know
I'd just like to mention that someone managed to create a clear caseback (not for a king seiko) over on the WatchUSeek Forums and sold them for $15 shipped so it's definitely possible.
Did you have any luck getting these made?
I am communicating with one producer to make these so stay tuned
I too would be in on this for my 4502-7000
Just bought a vintage KS High Beat. I'm definitely interested in this mod! Thanks for showing!
Hi watch geek, I just got the same King Seiko last month and now you make me want that clear case back too!! Still waiting for your full review of that watch.
Loved the dramatic music
I'd be interested in a display case-back for one of these too!
Looks amazing! I actually lol'd at the music, haha. :)
Same here. The epicness over... nothing really, lol
I'd happily buy one of those case-backs
That’s such a cool mod. I’m about to buy a KS and would love to get myself a clear case back. So far I haven’t had any luck finding the part..
That's awesome, movement looks great. Nice upgrade.
Thanks 😊
Beautiful face-lift. I love seeing quality movement. Great idea and well done. You have a beauty there. 👍
Thanks 😊 it really is a joy to look at
Sweet!!!!!!!!! Coolest watch video I've seen on yt so far, and I've seen lots, right on bud.
Haha thanks
I’d be glad to get this clear caseback for my 45-8020. Did you finally managed to make a few of them? Any clues on how to get one? Thanks for your support 😊
Just watching this video now - I'd absolutely love an exhibition case back for my KS!!!
Would you mind sharing the supplier? *or kept a secret for a reason?
Excellent mod! Definitely interested in two case backs (2 Grand Seiko) : one for a 8000 case and one for a 7010 case!
Have you found a 7010 case?
I am on the hunt for a clear caseback watch. Some of those movements are just mesmerizing. The Tag Heuer Grand Cerrera is a nice one. I never even considered modding one of the watches in my current collection. Hmmm. The watch in this video is super classy.
Great video and the movement is so gorgeous! A wrist shot at the end of your video would've been excellent!! 😊
I did a wrist shot in the unboxing video, that's why I didn't include it here, sorry 😅
Only have just seen your video. Wow! It looks fantastic! I have a King and would love to do the same thing.
Make sure to check out my review of this watch as well

Man that looks insane!!!! I wish I could do that to my 8541 Pellaton
Thanks 😊
Watch Collecting Strategy there are so many vintage watches with exceptionally looking movements that I don't understand how there isn't a company specialized in exhibition casebacks for them
Watch Geek Maybe now is our chance to own that market 😉
Haha we just need a CNC machine
Did you ever end up finding a way to get these casebacks?
Yup, even better ones: ruclips.net/video/j5cO0DZvfsY/видео.htmlsi=8H3BFJkcWmn7jyoI
Can you replace the acrylic with sapphire on these watches. The face crystal?
Hello, any news on the clear case back?
I have the same watch, i like that clear case back .
Please count me in. I would like the clear case back too. Thank you for sharing !!!
If you start to make this try and come out with different options for different case sizes or watches. Thanks.

Happy hunting 😁

This video is almost 2 years old at this point. Is there an update on these display backs?
Sadly no, I've given up since there were several failed attempts
@@WatchGeek bummer :/
Do you know if they 44KS have the same dimension casebacks?
Where did you buy the clear caseback?
WatchGeek, do you know if the current supplier that you are discussing with able to custom make display caseback for omegas? I also have an omega FOIS that I’d love to get a display caseback for but just couldn’t find one on the market. Thanks
I don't think so as he specializes in Seikos but I'll ask
Watch Geek that would be awesome, thank you!
I really like the look of that, but something just irks me about modding a vintage watch.
What’s the band size 20mm?
But isnt it hard to find transparent caseback for old vintage watches?
Absolutely interested. I have a 4502-7001.
Would like to get a clear caseback for GS 5722 series!
Looks great! Where can I find a clear case back?
Yahoo auctions Japan
Oh ya I’m interested.
Looks amazing! Count me in, thanks!

Very nice video man ! P.S. Are there any glass cases but for Seiko Lord Marvel ?
Count me in! 🙋🏼♂️
Really want to have this transparent caseback.
Hi :) Do we have the transparent caseback? I am looking for one.
Any news on where this can be purchased from?
I am in! GS 4522
Where can I get a clear case back?
Any tips on which dealers / ebay sellers (or if one visits Japan - which shops to go to) to shop for King Seikos?
I use Yahoo auctions Japan
Can you do this to other watches? Many dress watches are perfect but they don't get open case back which is dissapointing
Yes with the right tooling and with an example caseback
Wow! Looks a lot better. Do you know if you could do that for any watch? I'm sure my watches with a 6R15 movement might not look as nice but it's still cool to be able to watch the movement at work.
There are clear casebacks available for 6r15 watches, I have one for Sumo up for sale on eBay
Do you have a link to your eBay page?
Hi do you have any of these available
Just bought a gs 4520 8000, where can In find the case back?

I have heard this mod makes the match more prone to get magnetised, is this your experience?
Haven't experienced any problems
Also interested! Thank you.
Love this caseback... but can't find it anywhere. OMG
Id be interested in purchasing a transparent caseback
Can someone do a list of all the Grand Seiko and King Seiko reference numbers that the case back would fit. I’m thinking about getting a King Seiko 45-7000, would that case back work for that model?
Yes
@@WatchGeek I have sent you an email
@@WatchGeek I'm interested, do you currently have one of those case backs?
Unfortunately no, the manufacturer sent a modified existing caseback and it doesn't fit
Interested!
Sweet!! You jus need some CapeCod to polish out the rest of the case ;)
Where can get one
Brilliant vid.
Thanks
Nice mod, looks great.
Just gorgeous
I bought 4502 7001 few minites ago after watching this video! The caseback is what I image! I also found the caseback seller, but 4502 7001 caseback seems discontinued. Are you still interested in making the caseback more popular and easy to buy?
Sadly there are way too few people asking for it to make it feasible
Watch Geek how many would you need to order as a minimum? I would be interested in helping
Very nice. Take it there might be a variant for the automatic versions?
If you're talking about the 56ks, a regular Seiko 5 caseback can fit
Cool. Was wondering if the aftermarket Seiko replacement would still have that black printing on the glass. Looks tacky to me
You can probably remove it using acetone or paint thinner
This is making me giddy wanting to buy a King Seiko
where you buy it man? its look amazing
Also interested. Is this fit my seiko 5740 8020?
I don't think so
What price range do you think a ks45 in 85-90% condition is ?
$500-700
