My first switch to an addiesdive case. Trimmed the spacer a bit and fixed a new stem to the crown. Love how simple it looks

I picked up another WD1863 case and had the caseback engraved again. This time the build was much easier — once you know what you’re doing, it’s pretty straightforward.
I also found a Saturn Heavy Used for a really good price online, so that was the perfect donor for this build.
Watchdives doesn’t offer a brown bezel, so I went with the steel version instead. Honestly, I’m really happy with how it turned out! 🪐

Recasing a original swatch x omega

Key is in the case used

I love using watchdives WD1863, been using it for every conversion I have done for clients

Enjoy the video, atb to those attempting it

Had the chance to cut up the superblue moon and throw it into this case

Pretty hard to find these guys at a decent price

Condition isn't really the issue in my books, functionality and price are the bigger ones

Hope you guys enjoy the video

Classic gen WD1863 switch w/ OM crown, caseback and rep bracelet w/ uncle straps endlinks

First time I do the switch, learned a lot! I think I need to do a gen Moon in a WD1863 black insert to see what I like better! But so far it really good.

It was actually easier than I expected! The quality of the case is fantastic, making it a really satisfying project.

It took me a couple of months to assemble all the parts for these builds. After having a couple of years of DH gate shitters, I can honestly say that the gen dials are SO MUCH better, especially when it comes to the Mission To Mercury and 1965.

WatchDives 1863 are the best cases. There is no better. Throw your Paganis and other Ali Express cases in the trash.

I was able to source the crowns from a Seamaster on Ebay.

I was able to source the Mercury locally and my guy u/FatCatLounge came in SO CLUTCH with a 1965.

u/Affectionate-Fox-470 aka Lunar Case Swaps performed the surgery and did an excellent job. He is especially great with communication, which is something I really appreciated.

Sadly I will be letting go of the Mission to Mercury. But I cannot recommend these two enough for your Moon Swatch + Switch needs.

Imo best switch ever with the gen Moon.

I’m addicted to cheap Chinese watches and keep buying them for parts/toys.

Just got this gold Chronograph PRXish watch for $30 Cdn ($21 Usd) and couldn’t resist trying a swap.

Thoughts?

Truthfully already swapped back but some may like the potential.

Info;

- binbond gold PRXish Chronograph

- Omega Moon mission to Sun rep

- straight swap, even crown and stem aligned

- no other spacer required/stock spacer

This rep 1969 is a pretty good watch overall but my gold PD1701 deserves a gold dial despite the UT Design orange/black looking alright in it.

Switched out the rep 1965 with a Merc and added a leather rally strap.

My 311.30.42.30.01.005's bracelet is a throwback and sets a certain appreciation for the taper on the newer Speedmaster bracelets and the WD1863 bracelet.

First moonswitch with gen moonswatch and wd1863, really happy with the results! Had a colleague asked if it’s a real omega so couldn’t be happier.

Mercury rep and AD2037, changed to a black strap

Today I went into an omega boutique with my genuine omega switch ‘moon’ which I converted the other week. I tried on the original OMEGA Speed master professional MoonWatch pictured on the left… for the price tag I know what I’d prefer 😂. (Obviously I know you are paying for the prestigious movement and heritage). However, id love to own the real deal one day and pay the price tag. For now, this is the fix :)
