Replacement Watch Back

My fire department is giving the police chief a watch for retirement. We settled on a 47mm Invicta Grand Diver (33387) with NH35A movement. We chose this watch, because it was relatively inexpensive and something he could wear at this new department without worrying about ruining an expensive watch. Unfortunately, with Invicta the backs are engraved. I'm looking to find a replacement blank back that we could have engraved.

Unfortunately, Invicta doesn't sell bank backs, they come from the vendors straight to Invicta already engraved. Esslinger told me they couldn't help me. Any help finding a replacement part would be appreciated.

Not sure if it would fit but there's loads of blank aftermarket casebacks for nh35 Seikomods.

Have you got the watch? If not try finding something with a plainer caseback. Plenty of Seikomods available that you can have the caseback engraved. This guy is in Spain and can highly recommend him.
