Well my blueflake project has gone all wrong since my engraved backcase got lost on its return from the states trying to find a replacement is proving a nightmare i have my blue flake without a backcase all others i found are about a 1mm to small on the thread i tried also rafflestime i need it to be outer 36.5mm and inner thread 30.8mm

rafflestime closest is 30.5 inner  i also thought about yukis tudor backcase but this is outer 36mm and inner 29.6mm  the only other thing i can do is order another 1680 rep but this will cost 270usd shipped and then the case will be useless afterwards without a bc jmb made a super job of the engraving only to be lost on its return im totaly pi##ssed now !

Can anybody with a good relationship with the Cartel dealers get a case-back?  I have asked Josh and received a short reply indicating he can't supply parts, but I don't buy a bunch of watches from him...

I purchased hundreds of replicas over the years off trusty but they still can not supply parts if there was a 21j version of the 1680 at half the price that would be no problem but this was to be a budget build otherwise i would have ordered a yuki  tudor caseset in the end it would have been a better deal i think !

Still cant find a backcase for my blueflake build i have ordered a rafflestime backcase to try but my backcase has the o-ring gasket on the backcase his are on the case and its a smaller size thread diameter the 1680 is 30.8 and raffles is 30.5 i will see if we can make some modifications to make the raffles bc fit

even if i order another complete 1680 watch the backcase may still not fit i dont want to re-modify another 1680 after spending up to 500 usd on this build, next time i will order a complete yuki case set and save my self a lot of grief !
