Replacement caseback?

[shel504]

I know a lot of guys pick up watches with the intention of replacing crystals, bezel insets, dials, etc. Fair enough.

How likely is it to find a replacement caseback that'll actually fit. Basically, I'd like to replace the caseback that comes with the watch with a different one (to decrease height).

would it be a needle in a haystack to find a match, virtually impossible, or if I have the measurements would I likely find one to replace.

A caseback for what? RM? Reverso? Joker? 1908 Waltham pocket watch? You’re more likely to get a useful reply to this question by being specific, rather than shrouding the enquiry with an air of mystery.

Ahhh. Fair point. Sometimes you don't even know enough to know what to ask (or how to ask it). It's a BP 1675 GMT.

Someone had suggested a caseback from one of those 24hours daytona watches from the Gate, but that won't fit.

I guess my question is, are there vendors for casebacks similar to vendors for crystals, where as long as you have the dimensions you can find a replacement.

Did you try the primary font of all knowledge, Google? I just Googled “Slim 1675 caseback” and the very first hit is:

Which might help.

Think I had googled "replacement 1675 caseback", that didn't net anything useful.

I appreciate you taking the time. I'll give one of Raffles a whirl and hope it fits. Thanks!

Did this work for you? I am thinking about doing the same.
