Another Moonswatch metal case project

[theomms]

Does anyone happen to have a spacer 3d print file for the PARNSRPE case they felt works well for a PE50?

I tried to post on the Reddit moonswitch sub

Was reading up and it seems that the WatchDives WD1863 is a very nice thin option

Today I received the Moonswatch with the UTDesign Snoopy.
All parts available. I am going to replace the blue hand.

Hey guys,
Today I received the prnspre case. The pushers are broken, so I have to return it. All in all a nice case. But question, the case is quite thick, over 15mm with glass. Are there any thinner alternatives?

According to my research the current best option is the WatchDives PD1863

12.9mm thick including crystal

Thank you for the advice, but this case has no crown guards. So its a FOIS case.

Yeah I think I have to go the WD way.

On my PRNSPRE the bezel insert wouldn't sit flush to the bezel surface. It sits on the top. Is this fact on all cases?

Just finished.
Sub dial at 02:09 has been frozen.
Blue chrono hand has been replaced.

Current best case option is watchdives 1863, then the pagani case comes and then the vk63 cases from Alix

You managed to locate a more accurate bezel ring!!!

@c.dimitri can you tell us, where you get that nice fine edged crown from?

I bought a case from Jason and used the caseback for my Moon. The remaining case plus the caseback from the AliE have been used for this build.

This looks really good - the black large chrono hand is a big improvement. Well done!

Jason told me he wouldnt just sell the case.

 

[c.dimitri]

Jason told me he wouldnt just sell the case.

Two weeks ago I ordered 2 casebacks only which will arrive soon.
Maybe he has stopped selling these parts.

The agony of choice.

Sorry it didn't help! Is it very bad to put a moonswatch rep in a FOIS case?

The Rep 1965 MoonSwatch arrived today. The quality is good for the price, it looks better on the latest Swatch strap and is very wearable as it is.




It was a quick swap with my Snoopy metal case version and it looks great!



I put the Snoopy parts into the 1965 case and it looks a lot better, than the all white version, in my opinion.




The 'To the Moon' and '1965' versions are my favorites, probably because they look more similar to the original Moon Watch.
