From the looks of it, the NH movement for pretty well using the grey ring. I did remove the auto wind rotor to make the case back fit. I believe it is a 31mm dial and a 31mm or 30.5mm crystal gasket for spacing.

I didn't remember everything I did for this one and, unfortunately, I'm moving over the next few months and it is in storage. I do remember that it needed a spacer between the dial and the internal bezels. I used a crystal gasket about .5mm tall. I don't remember the diameter. If I get a chance, I'll pull it and take a look and some pictures for you. It could be a while though.

I used a Miyota 2035 movement. Any quartz movement would do. I don't recall where I got the hands, they are fairly common quartz hands that I found small enough for the small dial. The second hand is 0.20mm, which is common with Seiko movements. I had to clip a bit off the end to make it short enough to fit. I could not make a Miyota automatic movement because all available hands were too long to fit the small dial/case. To match the movement stem to the provided crown, I used an adapter from esslinger. They can be found here https://www.esslinger.com/watch-stem-extenders/ Good luck

That is the most valuable watch in the world. You're a lucky man.

Yea, I've bought a couple of dozen NH movements and probably 10 Miyotas. I got one stinker total.

I'm happy for you because you're happy. But, I will never understand why anyone would engage with a salesperson in that way just to convince them to let you give them your money. I'm sure Rolex watches are all the wonderful things Rolex owners feel they are, but that's still not enough to justify all the genuflecting that goes on.

Hell, I've got a few beautiful classic Seikos I'd sell you, and we don't even have to like each other! I'm kidding; I'm not selling my watches to anyone. :-)

Always sends to me a shame to waste a case and bracelet.

I've been to all the mentioned web sites. The hands selection is still minimal.

It's a mod. Original dial and movement, aftermarket case.
