I think we all know what an undecorated 2824 looks like so no real need for the exhibition back. I'd go with the squid.

I like exhibition casebacks, but how many times do you get a chance to put a squid on the caseback? Squid all the way!

I like both really. Do you get significantly better WR with squiddy? If so, thats where I vote. If not, I'd be an exhibitionist. If you really can't decide, just put it away and wear the UTS, Arnie.

...btw...

That sky blue dial with the gobs of lume looks superb. I wouldn't mind if you happened to drop in a lume shot here, too.

Squid. Exhibition backs are overrated. Most mvts don't look anything special. The squid does

Many consider the exhibition casebacks to be cheesey and gimicky (and they're right), but I don't care! I like them, neverthess. I always have, and I have made watch purchases based largely on that feature. So, there you go.

Like the solid case back.
I've just never been a fan of open backs on dive watches.

When you change the case backs yourself does it affect the water resistance? I like the solid, squid case back myself.
