Another Moonswatch metal case project

[haze3715]

I just builded up this watch. Tooked me 15minutes, the result - i'm stoked. What a beautiful watch, but for this price point, just a must have. Also love the omega rubber strap.

Thanks for this great mod.

Where did you source the strap?

I agree.
It's frustrating how all Speedmaster reps have the dial placement issue.

This mod just makes it go away, for a really good money/value ratio

Unfortunately there is likely just to low demand over there in china for the speedmaster / a good rep.

You bring it to the point, money / value just incredible.

from alieexpress, around 10 USD, you have to take "size": "with logo" if you want the omega branding.

This looks like a good strap option! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the share. I’ve taken a punt and just ordered one too

Sounds like a fun project for a noob like me to try out.

What is the recommended case? I'm just bit weary of what's involved with switching out the crown/stem

Something like this. Prices have been going down on these too!

Good news, I've got some metal moonswatch builds coming out as I got so many requests for them. Not available just yet as I've got some bracelets in the mail, but will have listed soon in M2M.

hello I just bought this same case do you know the crystal size of these ?

Actually I just removed the crystal from one of my cases. I will get some measurements tomorrow.

When fitting a crystal, does it just "pop" in?

you need a crystal press.
But you don't need one for this mod

can you also find the measurements for crown and thread tube size on the case

 

[Karbon74]

Crown 7mm
tube 2.5mm pendant inside the case

You only need a crystal press if your bezel was misaligned at the factory and you have to pop off the bezel and redo everything...

 

[Karbon74]

You won't find an easy crown swap...trust me I looked

best way is to change tube and crown

 

[Karbon74]

The ali case tube has a crown thread of 3.6mm
I am guessing this case is a seiko mod base

did the plastic wedge trick work out for you?

It did. I have yet to have the time to reassemble. Have to dig my crystal press out of the bottom of the tool box!

ok done
