The out of the box case seems to not really have that. MAYBE the plastic crystal is molded to "stop" the movement from being pushed forward but that's all I see. Likewise on the VK63 case, the movement "stops" at the correct distance.

Pagani case. I mentioned the spacer ring in the other thread, I put the tiny plastic one in but it’s just small enough to not make a difference.
I’ll open up the case again later and measure the differences To figure it out. Maybe print a tiny black spacer and call it good. I’m currently trying to decide if a mini dsotm would be fun, realized the omega one is 44mm and Pagani is 40mm. That case and the moon dial would look nice, but small.
Yes- these are around if you look to help with such a build:I’ll open up the case again later and measure the differences To figure it out. Maybe print a tiny black spacer and call it good.

Oh that does look good. Guess I gotta order more parts. Was that the Pagani case?Yes- these are around if you look to help with such a build:
I originally bought this dark side of the Moon knock off with a quartz movement to do a swap but I actually kind of like both watches the way they are. I cannot find this dark side of the Moon knock off again. I think I got it off DHgate. Probably from Jason 007. I seem to remember it was about $80.
Is that 40mm or 44.? Looks good I’d rather have omega markings than Pagani.I originally bought this dark side of the Moon knock off with a quartz movement to do a swap but I actually kind of like both watches the way they are.

it is a 44mm. Jason007 doesnt seem to have a DSOM at the moment- I see a grey SOM on his DHgate page, however. you should just message "him"- i bet he can find one for you.

What’s the actual dial size in there? How much space would I need to fill to get the moon movement in? It doesn’t look like the dial is 4mm bigger.
isn’t that the first thing we all do with all of these? Well if you ever happen to be in there please post the results. I figured out the dimensional differences of the Pagani case / vk63 vs the moonswatch. Working on a new movement holder design now. The dial is .15mm bigger than the rehaut in that case so it can tilt down into it slightly. the Case is also much wider than the corgeut case holder so there’s just too much slop. I’m going to get rid of the slop.Realized the case holder posted here was for the Pagani case, sorry about the confusion anyone. Either way, I printed a 1.5mm thick ring 30mm id 32.6mm od and glued it to the back of the dial Edges. Printed a new movement holder from the first few posts but did it on my smaller nozzle and was very careful trimming it to fit. Now I’ve got a rock solid mount and it’s perfectly level! Works great. Time to make some more. I also took a few inches of .3mm kanthal wire I had and bent up a piece to fit in the caseback to provide a low friction surface. No issues there. Someday I’ll yank all the hands off this and freeze that 2pm dial like it should be.
@dacodo Thanks very much for the STL. I had it printed by someone advertising on eBay. I needed to file down the diameter fitting into the caseback of my Pagani case as it was a little tight, though that might have been the printing. I’m really pleased with the results

Getting To Know The Place
Is the chronograph working on these? Thanks, and nice holidays! Cant wait to start this build.
Have you done something about the crown and clasp?@dacodo Thanks very much for the STL. I had it printed by someone advertising on eBay.

I was wondering about the options to have signed crowns and steel bracelets
chrono works- the 2 o'clock hand acts as a 24 hour hand, however. some modders are freezing that hand.
I went back and forth about the 2o freezing, but I will settle on letting it as is. With the metal case, it's nothing like the gen anyway. So let it be
