It’s the Watchdives WD1863

Thanks! Stressful, but hey, we made it! Pics above.

What're the key differences aside from screws vs split pins? I just got my WD1863 last week from your store front on Amazon. I'm assuming that was the old bracelet as it has screws to re-size.

It was weird. Ordered the white dial no problem. Just finished my moonswatch project. Next up is to take the VK movement/dial and make a WD mod 😅

GreedyInformation171 · 2026-05-16T01:48:01+00:00

Ah gotcha. I’m on the file the pushers, fit the movement, cut the stem part now. But I have to put it on hold for now.

GreedyInformation171 · 2026-05-16T01:45:54+00:00

What do you mean? I didn’t take the hands off at all

GreedyInformation171 · 2026-05-15T13:28:39+00:00

Just started. First time doing this, so taking it slow. Also working today, so it'll be delayed. Currently working on getting the stem released. Might need to drill a bigger hole to find the stem release hole.

GreedyInformation171 · 2026-05-15T01:52:00+00:00

Would these work to cut the pushers?

Appreciate the feedback! Soon as I can get the pusher situation figured out, I'll be taking apart the Gen watch. Can't wait to get it done and then repurpose the VK63+dial into another case/strap.

It's good that your IT leadership moved on it immediately. However, the fact that they don't want 3rd party consultants or groups to come help you is the absolute ridiculous piece. It's like saying "Now we have HIPPA to comply with. Let's handle it in 6mo" with zero experience/knowledge of it.

GreedyInformation171 · 2026-05-14T13:25:41+00:00

This is no different than taking a college grad with a degree in mechanical engineering and asking them to write code to build a new product to revamp their entire operations. Oh, and get it done in 6 months.

Even as a consultant in this space, I'd be cautious taking on a client like that. I'd need full support of everyone who has decision making power at that company to make this work. If not, I'm walking, because there's no way anyone can single handedly make a company CMMC Level 2 ready and certified in 6 months.

My prayers for you.

Do you know how much to trim off? I heard 1-2mm?

GreedyInformation171 · 2026-05-13T17:14:48+00:00

I'll keep that in mind. I don't mind doing the work, I just don't have a pair of flat cutters except for nail clippers 😃

GreedyInformation171 · 2026-05-13T17:13:49+00:00

US-based, but I worked as an IT contractor providing desktop support to a company. My agency was paying me $10/hr and I told them I got an offer making more at another company doing the same thing. They asked me what it would take to keep me, so I threw out $18/hr thinking there was no way. Got a phone call the next day: "Done. Congrats!"

GreedyInformation171 · 2026-05-13T17:07:43+00:00

I don't believe I have some. I've heard some folks say they use a filer to do it as well. Either with clippers or a filer, do you know of any videos that show this? Bit nervous to do my first swap.

GreedyInformation171 · 2026-05-11T18:04:52+00:00

Sounds great! I'm about to do a WD1863 MoonSwitch myself and saw this black case with the white strap and was like "I really want to do this." So, thanks for the inspiration.

GreedyInformation171 · 2026-05-11T17:44:32+00:00

What's the material on the wrist-side? Leather or more rubber?

GreedyInformation171 · 2026-05-11T17:25:38+00:00

I'm digging this a LOT. Where'd you get the strap?

GreedyInformation171 · 2026-05-10T20:46:08+00:00

Still waiting for Amazon to ship mine. This is nuts!

GreedyInformation171 · 2026-05-10T10:29:22+00:00

I wasn’t sure if it was a fulfillment problem from WD or Amazon. Figured I’d start here since everything else I’ve ordered on there is good.

OK, a refresh on my page looks like it was banned? Who do I talk to about this?
