But I totally understand your desire of a see-through case back and wish you all the best for the making of this "bespoke" 3605!
Best, Emmanuel

Thank you kindly again. Indeed the lugs are a part of the lower portion of the case on 3738 and 5738. It is my dream to own the Ellipse. However, since they do not come with see through case backs, I will have to make one.....and I will This of course wou...
