Will the Convertable need a special case.

I know the 14sz Doctors watch will need a special case. Any one have one.

I have a 3fb convertible like that one in a silveroid case so I dont think it needs a special one.

Eugene,

If the convertible is in an open face case , it will need to have a lever cut at the 23 minute mark.

Also the back must be high enough to let the setting gear to rise,to set time, (usually not a problem).

Nice watch!!

Steve
