The BB you need is 68mm english threaded - the 111mm I referred to is the spindle length. I was just pointing out that 103mm one you have now won't work.

Considering there is some controversy whether or not that crank also requires an asymmetrical bottom bracket and that you appear to have no idea what you are doing, while there are a number of other BBs that have specs that will work with a Campag Record Pista crankset...you might be best off just getting the matching one that they make
Ooops - j_e_r_e_m_y beat me to the shell/spindle explanation...

That is a very good deal
Do yourself a favor and go back to that site - if they have an English threaded Campy Record Pista bottom bracket at similar savings... Grab it

cough cough what site was that? 
The Record Pista BB is very nice and will last forever. I'd recommend that if you've already gone for the matching crankset.

ProBikeKit.com has always had good prices on Campy Record Pista cranks, in the $175 to $195 range.
A 48T 170mm set is $197 right now.
