The Moonswatch metal mod aka Project Alaskswatch

[eBoy]

Perhaps you can add one of the pro modders to this topic if you know one of them? I would be interested in their view on this question by @kidcreole.

@P..DR..D Bro, we need you! Who'd be the right modder(s) on RWI to tag about this particular subject? There are quite a few of them on here, hard for me to pick one ... Someone perhaps more specialized with Omegas or Quartz? Or a general wizard like @legend (although he's mostly our AP dragon, but I think he has a wealth of knowledge beyond that)?

@eBoy

Not a clue tbh, and I bet if I listed 10, I'd miss the 11th or 12th, and that'd offend unintentionally.

What I could do, if the OP wants, is move this thread to the Tech section?

May get more visibility there

The Moonswatch that should have been made from the very beginning! Very cool, a job well done

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.

Do share if you ever do this. I am looking at this with great interest. I might go all the way with a real Moonswatch (and just accept the case being lost) while setting up a proper rep case speedmaster. I might just give up the bracelet for a fostner flatlink.

I will. If you then go all the way please share this as well.

Ah cool cant wait to see your result! Going for the same moonswatch version?

What i used is a kind of double sided tape. Instead if it being thin as normal tape this is a few mms thick like isolation material. Worked perfectly and it is removable still.

Yes I am- was considering using Neptune and the corgeut case with the blue bezel- but I'm going with yours first!

Ah interesting as well! Good luck with the build and have fun doing it.

@Pinion Minion here is your idea of the Neptune in the speedmaster case with the blue dial i made in Photoshop to give you an idea.

 

[Pinion Minion]

[Eddio]
