Side note, I’m still waiting for that Corgeut / Neitan case from AliX, but someone just posted their build with it on Reddit which might assuage some of our fears that the moonswatch dial wouldn’t fit properly

Another Moonswatch metal case project
- Thread starter dacodo
- Start date
If I recall correctly thats how it worked in the original case of the DHGate moonswatches I got. The movement holders had little "flaps" which helped to bridge the gap the pushers had...
Still waiting on my shrink tubes to finish the mod on the first one

Hey guys,
Got insprired by @Karbon74 's Green mod and decided to have a go!
Thought that it could make a nice Christmas themed watch that I could also wear throughout the year.
The bezel is slightly green tinged as well, but it looks more black under most lighting,
Switching out the hands to be white without proper tools was definitely rough, but 100% worth it when I saw the finished product.
Let me know if you guys like it!

I was checking that post and I have doubts tbh.
I can see a black circle around that dial.
Hm, good eye! Strange that the case is slightly too large. I suppose you could use one of the metal chapter rings the reps come with to ‘hide’ the gapping, but that is weird. I’ll report back when mine arrives as well.I was checking that post and I have doubts tbh.

Good eyes. Looks like the dial is floating on the spacer. He should add that ugly metal ring
Putting up a pic of a build I've been wearing a lot lately.
I was indeed wrong, the Neitan case is slightly too large. I will say it also requires a 34mm spacer like the Watchdives 1860 case, but it seems the lip (or lack thereof) is made for a 32.5mm. What’s weird is even the Pagani dial (which is VK63, 32.5mm) doesn’t easily fit the case either - I figured I’d try it and yet no matter what I do it will not sit flat, and that’s using the spacer it came with.
I guess all of the tolerances on the case are just slightly wrong, which is a bummer. The bracelet is also huge, even after removing all removable links.
It does seem passable with a black dial (at least I couldn’t detect the edges at all, even with a flashlight) but still.

Can confirm the bezel is attached to the crystal, and can also confirm that the casebacks are not interchangeable - the rep caseback does not screw onto the Watchdives case, and the blank Watchdives caseback does not screw onto the Pagani case. The rep caseback also is still thicker than the Watchdives one (3.9mm vs. 3.3mm), so it would've added 0.6mm to the Watchdives case even if it did fit. Was going to try to put the Watchdives bezel onto the Pagani after learning that, but no dice since they're constructed differently.
