Hello!
My case/dial/movement was supplied with

--dial spacer ring (supplied with movement and installed)​
--some big plastic spacer which I assume is designed for ETA movement rather than 2813?​
--Case/movement tab clamps (I'm unsure if these are designed for 2813 or ETA because I can't get them to fit!)​

The problem seems to be that
  1. I can't get the case clamps to fit
  2. There's a huge gap inbetween the movement and case which I think needs to be filed with a movement spacer to stop horizotal play (i can't find any 3d printed ones available or any online)
  3. the hands conflicted with the case glass dispite using the dial spacer ring (i guess this might be resolved if I can secure with case tab clamps)
I'm sure that this build has been done before but i can't find examples that explain my problems and would love to learn more

Built a Raffles explorer and also had case clamp issues- the ones they sent where too short and had to use others.
