Hello everyone! I have recently ran I to a client who took his piece to a Hack wannabe watchmaker.... Long story short.... I need a new caseback... Don't care if its used, worn, labeled, appropriate markings, whatever.... Don't care.. And like I said it can be the 6.75 with the wheel on the back or it can be a motors with the domed back with a car or 'LE' print on it.. I know for a fact both will for perfectly... Just need one that will for the regular 48mm Breitling Bentley case.. I would Really rather not send it in and get charged an ungodly amount from breitling and I would rather not have one made or buy something that is aftermarket... But I will if I have to... At this point, I just need something.... Any suggestions, advise or comments are welcomed!... My email is carat_mail7@yahoo.com.... Thank you so much everyone!

Thank you.... Chrono-shop was a Fantastic idea.... And after a couple months of watching they came up with a breitling bentley caseback! I was extremely excited because it was for a 48mm and everything... But it was for the super sport limited edition which is a Tad thinner than most models (basically just make it look a little sportier, make a pvd version, a titanium version, give it some racing dials and call it a day) so I didn't know if it would work... But figuring most all the movements are 2892's with modules on them, I figured it would fit no problem even tho Out of ALL the bentley casebacks they get they get the ONE that is a limited edition of 1000... So I got it opened it up and put it up to the case and the caseback diameter? ABSOLUTELY PERFECT....! Except I just pushed it on there and there was no snap, no threads touching, Nothing... So finally after looking closely, they must use a thinner rotor as well because even the circle on the inside of the caseback was cut down Big time... So long story longer, unless I glued it on, it wasn't gonna fly... So I sent it back... What sucks the most is all that time I was looking for one Before and before I came on this site, etc, chrono shop had an entire BB case... The entire case, back, crown, crystal, Everything except the insides... I missed it by 3 weeks... That one would have had the correct model numbers and everything....! And breitling is trade in only so I'm basically screwed I think.... I have a 10,000 dollar watch with a baguette diamond mop dial and the Entire rest of the watch BRAND NEW, but no freaking caseback because of 48 hours with ONE idiot, worth NOTHING right now.... So I'm a little frustrated.... But I DO sincerely appreciate you trying to help... That's as close as I've gotten so far...! I'm at a point now if someone could point me in the right direction I'll give them $100 bucks just for Telling me about it! But anyways, thanks again guys and have a great one!
