Letter to Thierry Stern

So I called Patek Service Center in New York and they said that if I send my 3970E 2nd series solid case watch in there is a low chance they will be able to grant me the sapphire caseback since it did not originally come with one. Nerds of the 3970 watches will tell you that some came with, some without and some upon request.

They recommended I write a letter to Thierry Stern and the Patek board (apparently they meet once a quarter).

Anyone done this? I want that sapphire caseback so I can appreciate the amazing perpetual calendar chrono movement - a crime not to show!

Any suggestions on alternatives? I do want a real OEM option and not a Frankenstein watch.
