Thank You.
Is there a place I can buy a case back for a 1963 submariner 5513.
Thanks

eBay will be your best bet. Set a search and keep your eyes open. If you become a pledge member here, you can also post a want-to-buy thread in the classified section.

They are cheap and plentiful at the NY Service Center.

Finding somebody parting out a date correct back is slim, and likely costly.

I use the one Larry (Tools) posted. Also, the caseback project is even more accurate if you're looking before ~3.9m
