Omega Moonswatch reps - review of the cheap as chips new versions

I wonder why all those new versions have that ugly metal ring around the dial. The first 12 models didn't have that. They shine too much and destroy the harmony of the dial-case
It’s easy to remove the ring, it just sits on top of the dial. The dial sits neatly in the case without it. The case itself is the better quality of the two types I have received from AliEx. The case back is weighted, has a gasket and the fitting is good. It even has a small locating peg too.
Thats a great tip, sir! I have no idea how to work with watches. Is that something that an ordinary horologist can do?It’s easy to remove the ring, it just sits on top of the dial.

It‘ll take you 10 mins.
Remove the case back:
Remove crown and stem by carefully depressing this lever:
Remove the nylon movement retainer:
Carefully turn watch over and remove the case:
Lift off ring.
… and reassemble:
That‘s it!

Just did it! And it was a success! I was able to easily remove the metal ring, by myself.... with one small detail: I have no idea why, but I was able to break the seconds hands haha
Anyways, it was a great tip. I will buy another one and take it to a professional, for a proper work

I wonder why. Its the worse decision ever. It shines to much, and screams "fake". Its even worse on the models with dark dials. The black snoopy looks ridiculous with that glowing ring separating the dial from the case
The seconds hand seems not broken...with a LOT of patience you should put it in place!Just did it! And it was a success! I was able to easily remove the metal ring, by myself.... with one small detail: I have no idea why, but I was able to break the seconds hands haha

How? Sticking it in the hole? I've tried. Its completely loose. I know nothing about that, but it looks I broke the pin or something
No problem. I knew I was going to fuck something up, but I had do try LOLYup
You broke the pinion
So you need to change the mvt
Sorry
I'll just order another one
I'll also order the other models (black snoopy, blue moonphase, and the 3 earth's). I'll pay for someone to do all of those mods for me
I was waiting for the best moonswatch factory to release those models, but its taking too much time. That mod will do it, while I wait for the best version

I was reading the tutorial again, and LMAO
At that part, I was banging the watch like an ape, on the table, to get the movement out. I thought it would come off easily. LOL
Thank you, for the idea. That mod is a must, for those models.Well done! At least you gave it a go
