Another Moonswatch metal case project

[Fabian.]

Do you have a link to the branded case?
And which bracelet do you use? I'm not really satisfied with my $33 AliX one which is not even screwed and rips out hairs.

Now, the bracelet is mostly the same as the Alix one. Pins and not screws.
What I do is that I sand the inside with 2400 grit especially the edges, then rub with the inside of an old leather belt

then ultrasonic clean, then Nivea cream bath in a plastic bag for a day. Take care to squeeze all the air from the bag. if you have a vacuum pump/sealer even better

Finally, wash with running water and a toothbrush to remove the excess cream

It won't make it a VSF bracelet but it becomes quite comfy.

I'm in the same boat! I ordered the jason007 moonwatch case 2/24 and it's still... shipping. It did just reach Canada and passed customs though!
For any others interested the price on this Pagani Design Apollo 8 drops with their upcoming sale back down to more sober prices ($150+ CAD is nuts) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006203489488.html

damned. I was hoping to be the first to make this one

let's compare notes when done

How long do you reckon before Ali or DHGate do the Snoopy dial?

that's not going to be an easy one.
I am 100% sure they won't do the moonphase complication. Hopefully they do it as a 24h night day

I wonder if the PE50s and moonswatch movement holders can accommodate a swap into this Speedy ‘57 homage case (San Martin).

Yeah this is nice, do you have a link? How thick does it sit?

 

[Got20Mate]

Unrelated, seriously got so many parcels just sitting still at customs at the moment for UK. There must be a shedload of parcels just stuck and not moving.

Must be a load of people doing Metal moonswatches

Lol

 

[Karbon74]

my parcels are taking more time too

39mm case, 13mm thick. Wears similar to a Daytona.

mechanical. I doubt it or not simple.
and while it is a super pretty watch, the price sorts of defeats the toy watch concept

Yeah punches pretty high on the price point - Gen for that (plastic i know i know)

Still really nice!

 

[Karbon74]

fuxx.
got only one watch delivered instead of two, and wrong color


plus another parcel lost.

Yeah I'm UK and have always got stuff in the post. Customs bar-stewards seem to have a renewed 'energy' lately for the UK. I keep getting notifications that things are getting through or stopped at customs. Latest one says a £37 charge, but no idea what that is yet (It could be a couple of Moonswatches from the gate or some clothes or a homage from Alix) WTF!
