I tried to post on the Reddit moonswitch sub 🤣


Where did you find those chrono hands? All I can find on ali are straight. Those are nice for my upcoming FOIS build.

While I wait for my gen moon to sacrifice
I had a stupid idea.

A few years ago I tried to print my own dial for my steeldive sd1969 ploprof, but as much as would like to say I do, I don't really like the result.

I was thinking about swapping the movement with a gen moonswatch, as the dial are quite close in size, i could make my own spacer/adapter albeit losing the chrono funtions. Does anybody know the diameter of a gen?

Here is a couple of picture of the current dial and possible end result

By the way, I have informed Jason that the casebacks have to be updated.
See pic.



„FORALL“ is incorrect. 😉
I informed him of this 6 months ago. I'm guessing the stock is pretty deep and even if he can get the factory to make changes, we are a few years out from the corrected casebacks from appearing.

True, true 😉

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.
Very Nice! Can you kindly share the link where you got the 1965? Thanks!

Thanks a lot! @Speedy D
Thank @Karbon74, I had already bought others on DH but at the time they had discouraged me from other dealers other than qq13751589026. Since he does not have this model in his list I asked so as to be sure of the seller.

This is my little collection to date, and taking advantage of the spring offers I wanted to make a 1965 based on WD

@Karbon74 , in your opinion, as a donor of case and bracelet, better the WD1963 or a Speedy from DH gate? Today both can be found around 50 euros.

You mean WD1863
Well if you know how to change a tube and crown, this is an excellent, thin and well finished case

The Jason007 speedy case is nice, especially with the engraved caseback, crown and bracelet and it’s almost a straight swap. You need to extend the pushers. However it’s a big, thick watch despite the quartz
