Franken Breitling Navitimer Fighters edition seeks better quality case

[thelampire]

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post in this forum, please don't bite my head off if I am asking for something impossible
I have had a Breitling Old Navitimer Franken watch for 17years now, I got it for my high school graduation. I wanted to build a fully genuine watch except for the movement decoration, but I couldn't source a gen case for the A13022 model. The only thing I could find at that time was the Fighters edition replica case, which has the Messerschmidt misengraved. I would like to get a decent quality case for this franken watch, but the KOR one is actually not available and the rest are not in this size. I would even buy a gen case, I just don't want a fully gen watch and loose the significance of the gift. What would you recommend doing? Is there any source for a gen case or a decent quality 41mm case for a 7750 movement?

Happy Monday everyone!

Pictures would help.

Good call, there you go! Please don't bash me too much, the strap has seen some better days, I know.

I used SwissTime1884 in the United Kingdon for some obscure 22-year-old bracelet parts. He was very helpful. It took months but he was able to find them. Here is the link to download the PDF

I wrote him if he could source a case. Thank you!
If anyone would know of good quality rep 41mm cases for 7750 movement, I'd be delighted to buy one!

I bought one from my TD a couple of years ago. It was made by a small factory so the quality is not as high as GF. It took 6 months to get it and this was before Covid. Show me a good photo of the misspelling on the case-back. I will check mine.

The mosspelled Messerschmitt is actually visible in the second and third photo, but it's upside down.
Swisstime1884 got back to me pretty quickly, but he said that he cannot course a gen case for me.
