Guys does anyone know if the 39mm dials fit this case? It states 40-41.5mm dials but I’ve yet to find such dial.

Reef tiger uses this for its “Aurora” pilot watch but that’s another story.

Hi,
I have used this watch case for many of my pocket watch into wristwach conversions. I have one for my next project….
Here some pics

I would say there still a gap and the dial is very close to the glass.

And here some pics for larger dials:
Image
I had to downsize the dial to ~ 41.30mm
Image
Image
Same here

That means the case should be used for >40mm dials.

Thank you! That’s a very detailed reply, I didn’t expect that. Btw nice watches you got there. And It does seem 41mm is the sweet spot. In AliE the only dial available is this one:
