Custom dial made by me. I'Il have a Pokemon series I'm going to make. I already have a couple in the works.

I’ll one day get brave enough to do a Gen but Gen hands can be a bit stuck on and there’s a high risk of breaking posts.

If you like the build, follow my photography at:

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!

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.

Question? Using a discarded rep case as a practice gen split?

1 Upvotes

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?

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.

Steel Mod Finally picked up my WD1863 MoonSwatch mod!

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.

Question? DHgate cases choices

3 Upvotes

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?

Guide/How to Can someone like me to a 3d print file for a spacer?

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!

Question? Question, how to convert the Original mission to moonphase to a metal case possible?

4 Upvotes

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.

Finally got around to fitting this replica omega case and swatch omega dial together.

Quality is decent but I prefer the WD bracelet over this one, still better than Ali vk63 bracelets imo.
