Getting To Know The Place
i just want to order the case https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804707033900.htmlGood news everyone! I imported the .STL into Solidworks with feature recognition and well... I made the relevant changes for my case and made some other changes, like making the stem removal button easier to hit, beveling the battery area, and also added an up arrow (to indicate up, duh!) and a "C" to designate this as my variation of the design. If you'd like to print it, it can be found here:

I am also planning on making a batch of these for those interested who don't have 3d printers. I have a few old rolls of filament and these prints are like 1.5g each, so I can make plenty of these for $0.03 and would get rid of them for cost of shipping ($5 CONUS) to those who want to do this build. But would like to gauge interest so if you are interested, please let me know in the thread so I can create a M2M listing in the sales section to get these out to those who need. Here's some shots!
Relevant case used in this mod is:
Only other thing you need to complete the mod is replacement watch stem if yours was short like mine (I suspect broken as my replacement stems are longer!)
but i seems we bought them all
. Any idea for an other fitting case, which the movement holder fits? (Case only)

Keep in mind there may be differences in internal dimensions and you may need to do a bit of carving on the movement insert.

SECONDS: NASA watchbands - MIL-SPEC Velcro Brand Fastener
WORKBENCH SECONDS: These watchbands are 100% functional and accurate, except a stitch might be slightly crooked, or the marking is light or smudged. They didn't pass our full standards but still are very useful, so we're selling them at cost. All sales final, no returns on seconds...lunareplicas.com
I'd love to get my hands on the luna replica milspec band. Seems to be sold out. Does anyone have another source for these?
Yes, absolutely, but it has to be the LONG one (202") in ANY color . . .

Ah well I have a short on hand I'd be willing to let go, but a long, nope! Luna Replicas does the best ones IMO, so you will have to wait for them to come into stock.Yes, absolutely, but it has to be the LONG one (202") in ANY color . . .

For the movement holder, please note I have added the following for our friends in the EU and Canada:

Feedback encouraged and welcome.
- File with V2 changes and EU flag with a "2" in the center indicating V2 for @j-unit139
- File with V2 changes and Canadian flag with a "2" in the flag indicating V2 for @AMHD
- V2 also available for everyone else. Simply adds a chamfer to the bottom avoid elephant footing issues on some printers, and removes chamfer from the "C" and arrow to make them more crisp!

Can you still use the pagani's stem+crown with the moonswatch's movement in the pagan case?
The Pagani will have a much longer stem. Should be fine... except the movement is different so stems won't work. Crown will be fine with the Moonswatch stem though, unless it too short!

could someone give me a good close up shot of the AliX case crown, and ideally dimensions ?
especially of the part that inserts into the case

Good news! I modified the movement holder design to allow usage of the battery cover that comes with the watches_77 watch. You'll never see it through the caseback, but you'll know it is there!
Also worth noting that metal ring that comes included between the dial and plastic case can work in a pinch inside the caseback between the movement holder and the caseback, instead of the bezel springs I've been using. Disadvantage is it will not auto adjust like the spring will. Will experiment, but that saves me having to make custom retention springs, which I will be doing anyway as my 0.5mm spring wire finally arrived!
