If you use dial with feet installed in the mouvement it should be ok but it really tinny. 37 should be perfect

I just received 2 case sets I ordered.They arrived in 5 days (EU),which is nice.I noticed,though,that one case has the engravings (between the lugs and on cg),but the other doesn't have any at all.Anyone else experienced sth like that?

Some of these come with number on cg as gen?Didn't know,because the one that came engraved only has "brev ital",no number.

On the pozitive note,getting a non engraved case gives us an opportunity to get more gen like custom stamped/panthographed numbers.
