Does anyone know a source for sterilized 1950 backs?

I have a 117 back, and I am loking for a 1950 back without any markings whatsoever. Has enyone ever come across such offering? Enzo :) ?

I don't think that a 1950 case back 47 mm will fit on a 117 case 44 mm. I have been wrong before though.

It's a fiddy 47mm case with the usual 117/1000 number. Not that its a Pam 117 case :p

Sorry if it was confusing.

I am trying to see if fiddy case blanks do exist somewhere.

Oh ok, that would make it a PAM 127.

And to answer your question, I have no idea. :D

You may want to check with Davidsen.

I've been looking for the same thing. The closest I could find were blank backs for the 44mm cases sold by jimmyfzu on eBay (btw, he hasn't been on the bay in the past few weeks).

yeah, I already tried. No luck, hence my post :p

I knew about jimmy's 44s, but he doesn't do 47s. Josh has some different backs for the molijna watches with no CG, but they also prominently say officine panerai...

It seems as if a couple of us are interested on these, if at all obtainable. I'll check with David San again and see if he can source them given enough time.

You might check the mod or Panerai threads . . . I know that RBJ was able to polish the engraving off the back of his MM. It looked great.
