How/where to get a GMT2c caseback?

I am trying to get a caseback from a gmt2c (I guess an LN or a BLNR), but my AD cannot source me one.

Does anyone know of a way to get one? Are there dealers online that can do this kind of thing?

Any help would be appreciated.

what happened to the caseback you already have on the watch? If it needs replacing any AD can arrange that. If you want to buy spare parts you will be out of luck.

If you dont have the watch why do you want a caseback?

In the US, I know that RSCs must document the serial # of the Watch taking a replacement part...

Things have gotten very tight in terms of spare parts.

Why do you want a caseback??

If your priority is just to get something on the back of the watch, Custom Watch Concepts has clear casebacks. I have one on my GMT and it looks great and tested to WR specs.

Of course, the movement isn't especially pretty, but it's still fun to see the little twirly-gear whatnots.

No, I'm not selling you my original caseback =)
