Look good - also above the Swiss made it has additional writing in (on my mercury at least) black font that’s hard to spot and needs tilting so believe these are the current ones + as pinion said about the moulded lugs

yes- those are the most up to date ones. Consider changing the battery for a Renata- they have fake Renatas in them.
Enjoy them!!

I’m going to try to pop the baby blue into the steel case from this thread. Can I just read the top of the thread for directions? I guess I should wear rubber gloves to avoid finger prints? I’m not mechanically inclined so this is a likely fail
Yes- but also find the thread titled " moonswitch". I think @Slugger started it- it has a lot of good tips.
Now I’ve destroyed it. Hand off not working. I think this is an advanced project. Of well it’s only $30.
Make sure the hands are not impinged. Make sure the battery is in place.I’ve got it in the case but now stopped ticking, any ideas?

may be the stem length was incorrect? they stop working when the stem isn't correct inserted - as you say, thankfully the cost of attempting it is not high! That blue looks great in the case, like a Tiffany style, may have to try that one next!

Not gonna lie, this thread makes me laugh at Swatch
They heavily marketed their plastic case as a feature
When in this thread, it shows that people want metal cases
How long before we get "custom" moonswatch metal cases?

Hello everybody,
I went reading through all these posts, yet I have seen few pictures from the inside of your MoonS.
I happen to have a MoonS rep (sorry S, not gonna turn 250€ in something disposable) bought off Ali.
As many of yours, fellas, it happen to come with a wonderful Sunon PE50 movement.
Now it seems to me that this movement is held in place with different solutions varying from rep to rep.
Does anyone can tell me what should I expect swapping my movement into previously shared link to 40mm steel case? My MoonS PE50 has sort of a plastic wrapping around it, should I keep this to hold it in place when steelmodding?
Many thanks

And yes keep the ring. It can be usable.
I have learned very quickly keeping every little bit and seemingly worthless piece of whatever that comes out of these watches maybe of great use to you down the road.

May I ask where have you managed to find a gold case? I’ve probably checked the whole Aliexpress with no luck and this is probably the best one to go with Saturn.
