Creating a "Fantasy Moonwatch"

[Nikosaldente 630]

Hey guys,

I had a Quartz Omega Moonwatch Professional (non Microstepper) lying in my drawer....

Took the chance and bought a Microstepper Movement/Dial/Hands next door for a Co-axial Type Speedmaster at 44mm.

Trimmed the "fat" around the Dial, nipped the Stem to the right size, put it on a Nato Strap and voila:

 

*Dust is on the outside 

What do you think @NCRich?

Cheers

Do you have a picture of the movement? I'm looking for a white dial version of that but I'd like to have at least a decent quality quartz in it. I've bought over the years a few gen watches that although looked decent,come battery change had a petrol station $2 special with huge plastic spacer. So knowing what to expect to see would be helpful.

Sure pal!

This is how it looked before I trimmed it around to fit the case:

It's being held inside the case by a plastic movement holder!

Thanks for the photo and link,I've only ever bought one replica before a Marina Militare auto with a hobnail dial.One day out of curiosity and boredom I took off the case back to find a tiny movement with a large spacer.In saying that years later it works well,I suppose it's all about perception and if the movement is a cheap and cheerful $2 job (if that) you start to give the watch less regard even though it's shortcomings are hidden.
