Let me briefly inform about my experience regarding Raffles Brevet crown and AliExpress and/or eBay Radiomir and Luminor cases.

If someone wants to start a low budget project or wants to play around with „cheap watch parts“ first, then I have good news you (if you don't already know it).

**** The crown fits both cases. ****
That means „plug & play“ ImageImage

Looks really good. The only thing to regret is a stem thread size. I believe it's 0.9mm.

Thanks Image

I am going to build the Egiziano piccolo with Belkin12 dial. ImageImage
Image
But I think the case has to be adjusted a bit.
Maybe someone can help here. Image

At the moment I have the movement, the dial, the case incl. the crown … waiting for the hands.

At the end it should be similar to this one

Quick update:
I have just realized that an adapter for ETA/Unitas stems is needed.

Needed stem adapter:
for 0.9mm crown to 1.2mm stem

Yes, some parts. I have one like it, but I have used it for work on gold and silver in the past.
