price of an 18K case back ?
Does an RSC usually have inventory of an 18K yellow gold case back (for 36mm DJ) and approximately what is the MSRP for that case back? Thanks.

This was apparently the "net price" , because the RSC did not return the original caseback. Does $1,300 to $1,500 for a (new from RSC) yellow gold caseback sound about right ? |

for the caseback itself figure closer to 1,500 with tax - but don’t forget to factor the cost of a RSC service into the equation. They might tell you it’s necessary. An AD with a watchmaker might just do the swap with some labor costs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

For that you might also consider a jeweler doing an overlapping engraving to obscure those initials.

My AD has an independent engraver and he does amazing work. Before I spent the money for a new case back I would see what could be done with a new engraving. I would think a quality job could be done in the $300-500 range and move on with my engraving on the back. Just a thought.

Trade price, if you don't send in an old case back then the price will be 30% higher.
