I know that helenarou sell 5513 caseback .
I remember that other have put it on cartel , but not me directly so not sure if compatible with all cartel batch.

Write here if you buy and fit your watch ..

I have a several spares in the parts box left over from builds. I can't guarantee it will fit, but you can have for free plus cost of shipping.

Let me know the thread diameter and I’ll check with two sub casebacks I have.

Just some info. I learned after working with Cartel cases.  Even when properly shaped, I found the Cartel case very difficult to make into a good finished product.  For example, once I got an MQ vietname case, I realized how nice and flat bezels can sit on it.  The Cartel case was not truly flat where the bezel and crystal sit.   Plus, if you ever want to purchase and use real rolex movement, buying an MQ, Rubys, or Phong case, Yuki case will pay dividends as you can just drop a 15xx in there.    For only 500 bucks, I got MQ to send me a sterile Midcase.  It's worth it.

Raffles sell this tudor caseback (http://rafflesdials.com/steel-case-back-for-vintage-style-of-40mm-rolex-or-tudor-submariner-watch-case/) and it looks like the ones that are used in JKF (cartel) tudor subs. I think this raffles caseback should fit a cartel sub because someone said that JKF reuses the same rolex sub cases for their tudor subs.

If the raffles tudor caseback fits, then you could sand off those tudor engraving and mirror polish it
