I even found a solution for the dial fitment and overall esthetics of the front face

those stem extenders from AliX are pure shit

You need to be careful of taking strange pills bought from AliX

This looks great! What is the final bill of materials for the build?

I am not done
Many many issues cropped up

The key issue though is that I cannot find spare stems for the mvt SP35D
I used stem extensions but it snapped in the crown

So now I am pivoting to an Nh35 build
Using the SP35 date window as a DWO

Wish me luck

Great work. I cannot wait to see when you are completely done

I actually attempted the metal Blancswatch build and also snapped the stem in the exact way you described attempting to use the cheap AliX stem extenders.

Great minds think alike!

Hope you find a solution.
