sherlylock 3 Posted November 11, 2024 These are epic! I've recently bought a couple of MoonSwatches and a work colleague mentioned a metal case mod so I went searching and found this thread. Now have a Pagani case on order...... Where did you get the Ultraman sweep seconds hand from (if you don't mind me asking)? Love the look of that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a NH35 seconds hand bought on Ali you need to crimp it to 0.17mm the NATO can be found on Etsy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've bought a few reps now from a few shops on AE and Alibaba but they seem to be varying quality - the best one I have has very crisp printing and even has the "S" in the centre of the acrylic and the copyright marks on the dial. Others have got poorly applied lume / blobby text (all under the eyeglass so minor issues). Is there a preferred shop/supplier to buy from for the "good" reps? The one I bought from disappeared pretty soon after I purchased. :( Keep up the good work - well impressed! (I'm saving my project for the Christmas hols.......collecting bits in the meantime).

teatimecrumpet 0 Posted December 6, 2024 Hi, haven't received my moonswatches yet but looking into doing a metal mod. I see that the rep dial is too small? I saw one post on reddit saying that the 39.7mm cases on ali is the one to use?... But I want the 40mm pvd case... Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherlylock 3 Posted December 10, 2024 @karbon74- whats the reason for freezing the 2h subdial hand? Is it for better aesthetics, i.e. looks better always pointing upwards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it for better aesthetics, i.e. looks better always pointing upwards? in the gen, the 2H is a 1/10 sec counter for chrono. So if the chrono is not active, the position should be pointing upwards and not moving in the rep, the 2H is slaved to the hour hand and moves. So it’s an instant tell…not that it’s important as the Metal Mod is fantasy anyway so yeah, the watch just looks better this way 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just seen on Cousins that the g10.211 is available for around £50. Might be nice to build one around the original movement (you may already have done this?). I've got access to a 3d printer/CAD, a machine shop and a 20w fibre laser so should be able to fabricate/modify anything I need to. Your early speedy rep really is nice - I have a Pagani design watch on its way so hopefully I'll be building something similar over xmas. Top job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
