That is a lovely build! Simple, but elegant. It looks like the original case you bought needs a chapter ring, or rehaut. That part bridges the gap between the dial and the case on the dial side. On the movement side, you need a movement spacer ring to keep the movement centered in the case. You could also just go with a larger dial (the date window still has to be in the same place, so this is a trickier option) and the movement spacer ring in back.
What a unique design. I would only critique the crown and the included date display, but the minimalism with the additional plane is just superb. I love it. I'd probably struggle reading it though, haha.
Absolutely love it! I would love some diy made unique watches like the mr Jones watches, they would probably be great!
Nice build! It’s such an addictive hobby isn’t it!
the bigger case is suitable for nh35 with spacer and 40mm dial. It's made for seiko presage build
Liked the Idea, build and result. Subt. To see this (imo. Guaranteed) growth of the channel. Good luck.
The larger case needs a special movement spacer ring and is also made for a larger dial, I think a 33-34 mm dial
I’ve built around 4 watches now they’re really fun to make. If you build another one pick up a cheap jewelers loupe around 30x magnification. You can see the post with that to place the seconds hand perfectly, and then press it down.
Yes, there is better a way to remove the stem, use the plastic box of the movement, open it, put the blue crown inside near the tip of it and close the box like a tweezer to hold the crown by pressing with your left or right hand, then you can use the hand that is holding and making pressure on the box to push the stem mechanism button and the other hand holds the all movement and swipe to side when the stem is ready to be released and voilá! there you go! That or just buy the metal nh35 holder! Learned this from another KZread moder! I couldn't believe it! 😂🎉
A good looking build. Simple yet interesting. You should see if you could find a two piece NATO strap so you get the look and you get to see your movement.

I think all together it was £60. The case and movement were the most expensive bits. I have a parts list in the description if you're interested!
I want one!
Can you post a part list? I love this!
