i got creative and used the chapter ring from the rep and a washer underneath
I have a 3d print for these. I ran into this with a set of 5 I built. Dial too small or case too big! But the cool thing is you can use a colored filament to make an accent rehaut if you want, giving the watch a bit more flair!

Do you know if the swatch1 snoopie moonphase text is good/lumed?

Didn't know if you were specifically asking about the black or white moonphase. Karbon replied with some black snoopy pictures, but just in case here are some white snoopy moonphase from Swatch1 pictures. Currently sitting on my table outside of the case so was easy to take clear pics.
And FYI, I have ordered a few of these from Swatch1, and can certainly confirm he is NOT from whatever factory is making them. They have all been of pretty decent quality, but they have NOT been exactly the same.

I randomly came across this video while browsing YouTube, a familiar name suddenly got a shout-out 😄 Around 8:40.

Ooh I like it. There are no “simple” white dials so far (unless I’m blanking atm), the only white dials I believe are the Snoopy Moonphase and the Mars.
Although I guess this won’t exactly be “normal” either:
This timepiece features two unique counters at 10 and 2 o’clock. The first indicates the number 19 (normally 60) at the top, while the other displays the number 65 (normally 10), referencing the year 1965. These counters have been calibrated to total 19 hours (counter at 10 o’ clock) and 65 minutes (counter at 2 o’ clock), making the chronograph reading a bit different than the typical chronographs. The numbers 19, 65 and 60 (on the counter at 6 o’clock) glow blue under UV light, paying tribute to the OMEGA Speedmaster and the flight qualification it received from NASA, 60 years ago, in 1965.

A little off topic but I just saw this video on the new omega x moonswatch bracelet which seems to improve the quality of this one. Maybe it will arrive on dhgate too soon.
Price of the gen bracelet is 45€ on the omega store.

My 1965 just arrived. Would've loved the raised Omega logo and lume on the digits. Like other moonswatches, the strap is no good.
