average looking movements should not have an open caseback
This cartier is one of my favorite watches, but I would much rather have had a solid caseback to engrave something on it. The 1847MC - while it gets the job done - is nothing to write home about in the movement finishing department. While I understand it can be a gateway for new enthusiasts to learn about the complexity of mechanical watches, does a seiko for example, really need an open caseback? I think there should only be an open caseback if a brand puts in the effort to add decorative flourishes..
