Got a reply from Ruby....no solutions there unfortunately. So, who has an old MBW/MBK case they want to sell?

No reply from rubysswatch... ….any leads on the Cartel or MBW options? Appreciate the help guys.

Or an MBW case? F*#k. Kicking myself now for trimming that dial 🙄

Yes, subs used 1570’s. As far as I understand the 1560 is the same dimensions, but with a slightly slower bhp. I sourced a complete OP date for the project with what I was told had a recently serviced 1570....instead it was a 1560 inside. No big deal I thought. All the reading I had done suggested that the rep cases were all cut for 26mm dials. So I guess I was a bit hasty in trimming he dial. So I t seems that I may have to scrap this project based on my dial mistake. Unless I can find a case that will fit a date movement with the 16mm opening. Or use a eta movement. Damn. Where do I find a cartel case?

I actually have original crowns, bezel, insert, Pearl and crystals. I don’t mind having to mod a case for shape. Just looking for one that will fit gen parts. But where do you find them?

Ok here is my project: I have a genuine 1680 dial that was re-lined and shaved to 26 mm to fit a 5513 case. After reading that most rep cases have a 26mm opening for the dial I figured this should be ok. I have a genuine 1565 movement with original hooked 7 date disc as well. But Where do I find a case for A decent price ? Yuki doesn’t have any and MQ quoted me $950 for their case...ouch. I’ve already blown my budget on the dial and movement so trying to keep the case cost down. But I don’t seem to be looking in the right places. Any help appreciated.

Where can a guy find one of the backs with 30.5mm threads?

Wow. Great info. Do you know if a Tudor sub caseback will fit a 5513 case? I’ve seen some of those here and there.

I have a 5513 project with no caseback. Yuki has been out of stock of 5513 and 1680 backs for a while. eBay has been a bust. Can someone point me to where I can get a decent caseback?
