I love the watch. However, the back is a sore subject. :X It looks aweome now that it is installed. But, I took the watch in with a couple of others to a Jewelry store to have the backs changed out. When I got them back and home, I noticed a ding on the case of the Amphibia and a good sized scratch on the Invicta case (battery change, and not my watch - a friends).
So, of course the store denied dinging my Amphibia, but they couldn't deny scratching my friends Invicta. So, they Dremmeled it out as best they could. I have been pissed ever since.
The moral of the story is, do as much of this stuff as you can. I don't own a watch case opener, but I'm starting to look for one now. I have only had mixed results with Jewelry stores. High ones are no better. I took a bracelet in for resizing to a fancy Jeweler and the damn thing fell off in the car on the way home. They didn't get the pin in. Friction was the only thing holding the bracelet together. So, I give up. Gotta do it yourself.
