I love this watch but I would like to enjoy the inner workings more effortlessly. Is is possible to fit a glass caseback on this watch?

Hi Mammus, welcome to the forum!
This has been discussed previously in this discussion here. Unfortunately IWC does not customize casebacks, and because this forum is non-commercial recommendations on after-market watchmakers are not permitted. If you do intend to do so, I would advise caution and perhaps checking with IWC Customer Service first - as they may not be willing to service the watch thereafter (whether under warranty or not) - just my suspicion.
There are actually Portuguese Chronograph 3712s and 3714s with existing glass casebacks. You may wish to consult this wonderful page found here.
Thank you for your promt reply. I am not willing to go to all kinds of trouble for this. After all, it is a Valjoux I will be staring into.
