Another Moonswatch metal case project

[Karbon74]

I was wondering… is vk63 movement compatible with moonswatch rep dial? Dial placement seems similar

Nope

Vk63 subdials 3-6-9
Moonswatch 2-6-10

If you hate the pe50
You can replace it with a eta g10.211/212

Hands will not be compatible so you need to figure that out

I modded Nh hands for my 1957. Not fun
That said, the eta is not bad. The hours and min are the same as the VK63 and the central seconds is close
And you can find subdial hands easy enough on Cousins

I am even thinking of putting the ETA in the 1957

Ordered a rep and a VK63 case from AliExpress. The rep was going for $24 including box, which is about $4 cheaper than what w77, which makes me suspicious ... but I have ordered a lot from AliExpress and never from dhg and didn't want to deal with setting up an account. So hopefully the quality is good.

The AliX moonswatch arrived (very quickly too). Case is definitely pretty cheap but the dial seems fine which is what we're interested in anyway. Here are pics:

It also came with a box, which was much better constructed than I expected. Pics of that:

All, can’t thank you enough for the help.

These are far from perfect (the snoopy is so crooked - I think the dial turned a bit as I tightened the back up?), but I’m happy and the experience was very enjoyable.

Will likely be making more and might try my hand at some things too.

Are there cheaper cases than the 48€ AliX case which are equally easy to swap?

Yes Bliger or Mechen or Dwayne Campbell stores on Ali

But in all of them you will have to adapt thr pushers for the chrono to work
