There is a seller on ebay that keeps selling an aftermarket watch - their username is yywatch11 or something to that effect, it would be worth doing a little digging to see if you can find their case supplier

this is the case - but a different seller (the one I'm thinking of sells for about $1000 by the end of the auction)

The best cases are probably these, but they are expensive:

Hi, thanks for The info.
Phong does not works the blancpain, and that are expensive and not good. The y are not 1:1, near perfect no more than 50%. They have a lot of mistakes…
And … maybe anybody can do it for me?
Do you know?
Thank you very much and b.r.

This would be an amazing case but it would be a shame to purchase it just to part it out

Davidsen still had some BFFs when I chatted with him a few months ago.

These weren’t perfect either. You can also get Steeldive BFF homages. Pick your poison.

Nice case especially the push down bezel, but the 16mm lug width would be the dealbreaker :-(

I bought this watch from Vostok, used a Fifty Fathoms Dagaz (?) dial for a Seiko (same size) and a custom bezel from eBay (they are sold elsewhere too). I finished it with an @odokadolo insert.

All that at a fraction of the cost of buying other homages/reps. NOT a 1:1 but hey, good enough to me.
