@dj57 is right: this case is the most convenient to fit largest pocket watch dials.

Actually the only dress style case I know to fit dials > 39mm.

Thanks,
this Hamilton dial was an amazing find: genuine enamel dial for 6498,
bought the dials only, never seen the real watch.
The dial was 42.8mm and 1mm thick.
Reducing the diameter was a dangerous game: you can't avoid enamel to chip.

Yes, my dial design was clearly inspired by this ancestor, but only 1 layer.

Precisely, because it’s BIG! It’s like wearing a PAM but it is not a PAM.

Then you may be disapointed since this case is thinner and way lighter than a PAM...
