Default Nikon Centre Pinch Lens Cap

I've been looking all over for replacement lens caps, and I really don't like the 3rd party ones where the pinch is on the outside. Just wanted to seek advice here on where one can get the Nikon lens caps with centre pinch, please. Thanks!

For Third Sunday only... If you like, I believe I do have 1 last piece of the 72mm center pinch cap if not wrong. PM/SMS me 96456423 if you're interested to get it. Not sure of the price to sell, so will not be selling you, but you can have it for free. Let me know, I'll then go and find.

Buy original one only, never buy the 3rd party one, it sucks. Just putting the lens inside the bag and it falls off. One may wrongly think it's Nikon's, as it has the Nikon logo on it.

Actually I do have some 52mm and not sure any 62mm left. Also a big bulk of BF1A bodies caps as well. These are from my old old old unsold stocks... if anyone wants, just offer a token, you can have it cos I also cannot remember my cost already.

But first let me go and dig out my old stock and count how many I have left and also the sizes. Will post them here tonight.
