If the movement is loose you can maybe use a thicker movement ring + the backing plate if the stem height is not affected, of course

Nice job....
On mine I would like to use a brass coin spacer with a 37mm.
If somebody knows where to source a coin spacer?

What is a source for these? Or are they usually diy?
I’ve wanted to include one in a build but don’t know where to find them or the process in fabricating my own

I got it from a m2m sale but I think @Belkin12 is able to produce them.

I got everything to tighten up inside the e watch. You need a thicker dial for this case and movement holder. I used a back plate and dial dots. I am not sure of total dial thickness. There was dried resin on back side of dial that added thickness too.

For some reason it looks better to me.(maybe because it fit together properly) It probably is the height of hands.

I started to adapt my cortebert 592r in this case according to the @kpoy 's advices. I had to remove the lip on the baseplate.

But as I'm too impatient, I haven't disassembled the mouvement to reduce his outside diameter with sand paper
In fact I protected both faces with HW plexi and tape... it sounds good and and seems to be clean the 592r still running well
