A question to the seasoned builders.
How thick or how thin a dial can be used in a welded lug case with a SF240 in there?
I could measure myself, but I am not really able to get around in my shop on these four wheels I am forced to put up with for a bit more.
Thank you in advance!

Re: Dial question
Depends on movement ring but 2mm fits there.
1pcs dial is also ok but will be annoying gap on bezel if its designed for 3pcs

Re: Dial question
Sounds good, thank you! I aim at a no seconds build and I have one of those rings to fill out a gap.Akvanautas wrote: ↑August 11th, 2021, 11:16 am Depends on movement ring but 2mm fits there.

Re: Dial question
Yes, a regular thin dial with backing plate is more than enough.
Esdee version takes 39mm dials but River's 37mm

Re: Dial question
Thanks! I assume that I will have to measure a little before housing my best SF240. One dark, windy, cold and damp evening this autumn......

Re: Dial question
It will take a thin dial but you have to a rind around bezel so to eliminate the space left between the in of the bezel and the dial. This is for a dial with subseconds.
If your want to use a dial with only hour and minutes then a 2mm or a 3piece is OK.
Both situations use a 39mm dial. You have to use dial stickers to secure the dial on the movement, as movement ring's rehault is shallow and dial will be on top of it.
