Parnis 1936 case shortcomings.

Recommended Posts

So I am using a Parnis 1936 as a base for a 3646 fantasy homage. Been quite pleased with the results and encountered no issues with parts that I ordered to jazz it up a bit. (Silix chunky solid caseback and Brevet crown.) 

However, I wanted to swap out the Cali dial and ordered a 38.9mm dial. Guess what? It doesn't fit. Seems Parnis 47mm case takes a 37.5 dial which severely limits choice. 

I'm going to use a new 47mm case, anyone recommend a source for a reasonably priced item pref with domed plexi?

Sonething like this any good to you?
Its an old river 3 piece case with low cali bezel,
Dial is dsn, nicely aged nightwatch blue heated hands,
Just add 6497 movement and you're good to go,
I'll polish the plexi up a bit or find you another similar one in my spares box 68b82b07eb9699bb8a93e5cca22d969b.jpg4b32859e57c906344f6935697ad21fb2.jpg82b23a104c01bd4d1b3fc3469b513046.jpg662be32eae5405a147e467319dc08ef5.jpg4aa245265b285d19028834037dcdc2c5.jpg98c84479173a8f4a70a930c3e7abcace.jpg5d57adafb7631922874503221dba525b.jpg0732240d9ef5379d2885cd79013596c4.jpg1dc4200c072d9e4ccd9ba17d5a6b5ecb.jpg1da0a53a67c61cf8854ce377dd6d7d5f.jpg02c787dcdbb252e42ad6333c91f9eaae.jpg0366b99ad842dc00006aa4196171e43d.jpg539d10333760bb447e8f1f0583cee951.jpg5361dac8b022975544328830b9722d98.jpg
