How many of your watches have open casebacks?

Follow my watch journey, as I share my past collection, and reveal my lifelong collection. I grew up admiring my dad’s Casio that he wore all the time. When I saw the watch, it meant he was home after...

Only including my automatic watches, 6 out of my 9 watches have open casebacks.
Some, but I'm not gonna count to see how many.
None... yet!
I want at least one. It's hypnotic. (I've opened some of my watches. Even though they're basic, it's magical)
The display caseback is not relevant for me 'cause most movements i can afford offer nothing to see really. I ve 3 watches with display casebacks, and though theres only little to see i enjoy sometimes the glimpse on the coggs and wheels
Most of my watches are Quartz, where displayed casebacks are rarely. If I consider them it is less than half of my collection with displayed casebacks.
But of those wuth mechanical movements it's the most who has displayed caseback.
30% 12 of 40 watches
Used to have more than that, but currently only my PRX and my Seagull 1963 have open case backs. The others are quartz watches or have opaque case backs due to a higher WR.
All of my automatic watches have display case backs, which wasn't a reason for me choosing them. In fact, I'd prefer my Seestern S434 to have a closed back.
I only have two mechanicals at this point, and one has a display case back. Then I have a handful of quartz, mostly g shocks.
