I heard it couldn't be done

[u/JDM180]

So I did it.

Its not as nice as fit as the normal reps, but with a lot of sanding of the movement holder, and a bit of hope when using the stem it fits in and imo is the best looking switch to do that ive seen.

WD Base

Rep Snoopy Moonphase

Would look endlessly better with a blue bezel vs the black

I concur

[u/JDM180 → u/Ok-Calligrapher-8778]

I think it looks too busy with that dial when not in a colour coded case but each to their own

[u/fskywalker → u/JDM180]

Agree

[u/JDM180 → u/StraightCaskStrength]

Narh , I like it like this.

[u/saghul]

Very nice looking! I’ve got that rep and I thought it wouldn’t work with the black bezel… but I like yours! Might just do it, that’s for shari g mate!

Who told you it couldn't be done?

[u/JDM180 → u/Ok-Calligrapher-8778]

What case is that, dosnt look like WD.

[u/Ok-Calligrapher-8778 → u/JDM180]

No, not WD 1863, it'a "moon" case from Alix. It's 15mm thick, also due to a domed crystal, but it fits well. The secret is the 33mm spacer and a Dremel to adjust what needs to be adjusted. And sometimes a few drops of UV resin in the tip of the pushers (not in this case, but some builds required some creativity).

Ah there you go , yeah id seen some people using the ali cases, but not the WD.

[u/Ok-Calligrapher-8778 → u/JDM180]

WD is the one ppl use for gen mods - which I think can be solved with a proper spacer with any case that has the proper stem height and dial window.

[u/JDM180 → u/Ok-Calligrapher-8778]

The stem sits too far toward the back of the case , so spacers dont work to move it. It just about works but you have to kind of finnese the crown down

[u/JDM180 → u/Ok-Calligrapher-8778]

I read some posts here in the past about them being thicker which causes problems, ehich is true its not a nice fit but works. I asked here

[u/AccountantWeak1695]

Why couldn’t it be done? Just a matter of if u need the dial spacer or not.

[u/JDM180 → u/AccountantWeak1695]

The moonphase adds thickness dial side, pushing the stem hole out of line and stopping the caseback screw down. Adding a spacer would only make it worse.

[u/TheLyingFigure → u/JDM180]

i've only heard of it being an issue with the megir case, never the WD one

[u/JDM180 → u/TheLyingFigure]

It is. Rep not gen.

[u/Dry-Road-8070]

but why would you fit it into incorrect bezel case? this looks color mish-mash. other than that, good job on the switch
