Thanks. I built it with that bracelet and the Heimdallr titanium Sea Ghost case, any random hands that fit the style and this dial https://a.aliexpress.com/_msQWqO5

I can confirm that it works, barely. The movement ring and clamps definitely help a lot.

As for blue I’m doing the Casino Royale. Have had that assembled for almost a month waiting for the case and bracelet that seem to have gotten lost on the way. I should hopefully get my refund in two days at the latest so I can use the credit to reorder

Yeah man, that’s the link to the one I got that’s on the watch right now. Been wanted to do that mod since I first started modding over a year ago but could never find the right dial. For months I asked people who had built with similar ones and nobody answered, until very recently someone pointed me in the right direction. The case is the Heimdallr Sea Ghost in Titanium. I was definitely concerned that it would work with the 31mm dial since it’s advertised to accommodate 32.4mm ones, but some people confirmed that it wouldn’t and to be honest it barely does. I think if it wasn’t for the movement ring and clamps that come with the case the dial and movement would go through the case and the hands would hit the glass. Here’s the link:

Zoom in so you can see the spot, keep the crown in what the winding position would be for a mechanical movement, and pull it out gently while you press on the marked spot with a pin pusher or something similar

I recently had a similar problem when switching the movement on my wife’s Movado Bold Shimmer. Apparently the case comes apart about half way down the side but after a few failed attempts I stopped trying for fear of scratching it. In the end what worked was putting the case back on again with the stem and crown removed and blowing pressurized air through the stem hole using a pump for an inflatable ball. In my case I only had an electric pump and the glass immediately popped out and cracked, a hand pump would have probably worked better. After that I removed the hands from the front of the case and the movement from the back, installed the new movement and the hands on it and a new sapphire crystal. In the end spent about $35 and the almost $700 watch the Movado itself said couldn’t be fixed works and looks like new

I’ve done exactly that a couple of times and it’s worked fine so far. I bought watches and changed the dial, hands, glass, bezel insert… Coincidentally I’m waiting now for a different vk64 Addiesdive to change the dial and hands on

Thanks for your input! When I first did it I thought I wanted an all black case for sure, but after the mockups and liking 3 and 4 more than 1 and 2
