This version is a 40mm Corgeut Speedmaster case from Alixpress. At the top you can find the parts bought for this build if you want to know more. The watch is so amazing i am already thinking of going for perfect. Meaning replacing the Corgeut case + Uncle bracelet with a rep case Omega Speedmaster with the correct rep bracelet as well.
Well done.
Love these little inexpensive, relatively simple builds that require minimal equipment and give you something different .
Gonna make one for sure. Where you able to reuse the stems?

Yeah this is fun to do and you can learn while doing it / mess things up without it becoming too expensive. Regarding the stem, no it was too short for the new case so i bought a few extra movements so i had a full length stem and parts in case i messed things up.
Awesome! With the new crown it's a total keeper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah feel the same way. I thought the red crown was a fun thing but did not expect the impact it had on the looks. When i changed it to the metal crown it was just a game changer! It is gorgeous if i may say so myself!

I assume this is the case? Just curious why the PE50 movement is necessary.

Dont know if yours would fit but buying parts only is cheaper
The seethrough caseback wiuld not be my choice (that PE50 is not a looker) and it makes the case thicker as well. The reason for the PE50 movement was only because of the full length stem that comes with it.
weird, i thought i saw a seethrough caseback, nevermind on that comment. It should be a trial and error. Reason for the Corgeut case was that it housed the PE90 movement which is close to the PE50.

Gotcha, so you used the original Moonswatch movement with a PE50 stem. Thanks, that helps a bunch. Think I'm going to try this project with mine!No it is this one

No my Moonswatch Mission to Mars had a PE50 movement and therefore i bought one extra PE50 movement for the stem.
I have a feeling there is going to be a run on corgeut Seamaster cases very soon..
One last thing- did I see on another thread you had to buy a spacer as well to hold the movement? I've tried to find it but cannot
Thanks
Thanks
Hey @Eddio, what clasp do you have on your US1450? The stock US clasp?
In case you want one with an Omega logo, I can recommend the gen clasp from the Speedmaster Mark II bracelet. Perfect fit for the Uncle Seiko. I got mine brand new for under €80 to go with my gen 3861 + US1450.
