Okay, I’ll admit that I don’t know if this is unrealistic or not (pretty sure it is a bit high) all I know is for $12k I would at least expect them to be sorted https://www.ebay.com/itm/155895094975?

I mean, I know people have spent a lot on Speedmaster parts but £1,250 / $1,600 USD for a -71 case back?

This is not your regular Speedmaster Chrono, it's also a Moonphase

I’m familiar with the model and I’m in the market for one but $25k is still wishful thinking!

A little perspective on a recently sold one from our own sales section

The one for 25k is the much rarer Tritium version. So not a direct comarison to this modern one. Nevertheless i also think 25k is too much.

Someone is actually selling a De Ville in 18K solid gold that they lost the case-back off

https://www.ebay.com/itm/355487007947?epid=14054739408&itmmeta=01HQBGR3HZ2PFGSAYBYN96VADG&hash=item52c4ad44cb:g:y3IAAOSwS-Zl2NRC&itmprp=enc:AQAIAAAA0Hr3EXzNpKDpppSy7+nA66v4QiZOaakWF+9ClIpoo9PPOXRFkfrhqcNpYdVbrNI9srcdkkd45CadTCWR3cW6IiN6eCMpU3xEqFKlmo6ZE4xyfEVh3682ALiy4OcDXyJGwrsEuy3Jvy3cB3S60u3lbHFT3nqKP+7xoSxsedmRf9eiMVdPdZwMrp3Pf+lsaat+94pi7/ilWFMNsX1UkKEgWQo1ChewQ5ZKgVrcyiPu/mwW+w8Glv8NKOS+bqKP1ZAvyo/gNhdheogHxQN8Yxvh/KE=|tkp:Bk9SR5K54PC6Yw&LH_Auction=1

I have no idea how you actually do that, but no doubt whoever buys it is going to do so having not read the description and will be very annoyed
I anticipate a new member in the coming weeks excited about their new gold Deville and wondering where they can get a new case back 😗
