Okay thank you, I appreciate it. I'll look into the cartel cases.
I'll reach out to @369mafia as well. I've got a couple other watches waiting to get to him but Canada post is conveniently striking before Christmas lol
what is the overall length of the Hrouland case and what is the diameter? A gen case is 48mm OAL and a diameter of 38.5mm. Thanks
A YouTube review I viewed showed the measurements as: Diameter 40.8 mm (appeared to measure at the bezel), outside lug to outside lug 47.7mm, case height 13.1mm and 20mm lug widths.
I have one on its way which tracking shows has cleared inbound Customs so I can drop back to the thread and confirm those measurements, and any others, that is if no one beats me to it.
Cheers

Waiting for the family to wake up for Christmas activities and thought I’d post this follow up. Finally got around to doing the white seconds hand. Why do we do this to ourselves?! I aged the raffles second hand using some oven direct heat and then (working under the microscope) masked out the now darkened lumed portion with painter’s tape. Several coats of airbrushed white acrylic. Finally got her back together. This has been a fun build (albeit a looong build; between sourcing parts and aging, etc. - 5 mos!) and I can see this beauty getting some serious wrist time! Happy holidays!
Repdoc3,
tonnes of patiences put nto masking up the lume pit there, looks great and the watch looks awesome.
Be interested to know what sort of work was required on the Alix 2824 movement holder make the movement fit.
And for Motorhead13, as accurate as I can be: the length of the Hroudland is, 47.67ish mm, bezel outside diameter 40.77 mm, outside case, including crown 44.46 mm, sans crown 41.94 mm, height 13.2mm, bezel outside diameter 40.75 m.
Obviously mine arrived, really is a comfortable watch to wear, now to go through the parts list and gather what is needed.

Thanks. Definitely some back and forth getting the movement to fit in. I basically used a 2824 movement holder as a spacer for in between the movement and existing movement holder. I had to keep sanding down the thin movement holder until it fit snugly inside the existing NH36 movement holder (you may have to sand off the usual bumps that align the holder with a 2824-2 movement). I even cut the 2824 movement holder on one side enlarged the area where the stem comes through just to make assembly easier. It sounds kind of like I duct taped it in - haha, but once it goes together it fits very securely. Using the existing NH35 holder assures that the movement and dial are secure in the case when the casebook is screwed down. I'm sure there is a much easier way to do it but that's what worked for me. And yes, I agree, very comfortable on the wrist. It really is a nice looking watch IMHO!
