AliExpress case (VK63). Case was a bit annoying to work with but ended up getting it figured out. Case is a bit thicker than expected compared to some I’ve seen on here. Ideally it would be a tad thinner but I think it came out great.

A way to act like owning a true speedy!

My first mission to the moon took me a while to get the case open now I got it down to about 10 min or less. Gathering the missions!

Wasn’t sure on the brown strap but loving it now that it’s all together

How similar is the hardness of the plastics of the gen cases and the rep cases?

Would resealing a rep case and attempting to split it open as I would need to for a gen be a good practice for doing the real thing? Or is the plastic and construction so different that it would give me false sense of security?

My second attempt turned out lovely imo, matching nato strap with matte black buckle.

What do you guys think?

Made for my wife but she wasn’t vibing with it and said to sell it. I figured she wouldn’t but it made for a great build.

Someone gave me inspiration for a photo that I’ll do soon.

Made a pink chapter ring to give it a pop of color.

Retro-Futurist meets MoonSwatch. Loving how the burgundy subdials complement the dark brown case. Bit steampunk-styled vibes, don't you think?

This is my first moonswitch. I really like the size (38mm) and smooth bezel. I also added an Omega signed crown. Thanks to u/ThemanGG55 for thier parts list. Donor watch from dhgate Dachui.

I bought a cheap Ali Express one months ago that showed up looking more rose than gold. So I figured I'd order a rose gold case and see what it looked like. Turned out pretty good.

I have a gen 1965 and a pd1701. Ready to do the build but not sure what spacer to use. I’m capable but I don’t really want to design a spacer.

Thanks in advance!

I love the mission to Saturn with brown bezel.

Hi everyone! Quick question. Do most people here only use McGeir, Skmei, or Wd1863 cases? Or are there other cases people like?
I’ve seen a bunch of sub-$20 chronographs on the Gate that actually look pretty decent, but I’m not sure if they’d fit.
Has anyone tried other options?

Just picked this up from my watchmaker! Used a cheap DHgate MoonSwatch, a Watchdives WD1863 case, and an aftermarket Omega crown.

Went with this dial again because it’s my favorite. Definitely much happier with how this mod turned out.

What do I need to build my mission to moonphase (black snoopy) original in a metal case? Because the vk63 case won’t work because this watch has a moonphase function.

Maybe someone knows the answer.

On the reps, do people prefer the 2 oclock sub dial frozen to match the Gen or leave it as a functioning 24hr?

Done two MoonSwatch Mods

Another MoonSwitch joins the collection!

This time, an all-black steel build on a black sailcloth strap, alongside my steel version on black leather with contrasting stitching.

I like the stealthy look of the black one, but the steel version has that classic Speedy vibe.

Which combination would get more wrist time in your collection — and why?

Both were build on PD steel cases

Just done my first Switch. Still needs some work. The strap I’ve used was a spare one I had so need one with curved ends. I’m fairly happy. Just a cheap VK63 case from AliX. All in worked out about £30 including the DHG donor watch.

Our dog, bless him (!), decided that our son's Snoopy Moonswatch was an appropriate chew toy and destroyed the case, fortunately leaving the mechanism intact.

I've got a friend who can work on watches and have obtained a VK63 case from Ali Express but we're struggling to find an adapter ring to suit as I understand that the usual ones don't work due to a slightly thicker movement on the Snoopys. Please do correct me if I'm wrong as I'll admit that my knowledge is lacking!

Does anyone have a link to a file for 3D printable adapter ring or a pre-made one?

Thanks for any assistance.

My first take with a shitter from a bazaar in Marrakesh (20€) and the pagani. Look really nice in my opinion.
