<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 394694, member: 25&quot;]I have never seen a lever set RR watch with a pop off bezel, but I have by no means seen everything. Lever set was mandatory, stem set watches&nbsp; were unsuitable since it was possible to accidentally &#039;set&#039; the watch while winding it, although this is fairly unlikely.</p><p>I somewhat doubt the &#039;salesman sample&#039; story; watches with glass backs can be found all over (the Turkish and Chinese market watches often have them) and in my opinion they were show off aids for proud owners to display the fine mechanisms. It is still possible to buy wrist watches with glass backs for that very purpose. Retailers buying high grade watches would be quite familiar with the &#039;innards&#039; of what they were buying.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
