Unfortunately, the chapter ring on Heimdallr's titanium/bronze case could not be removed.
It was machined as an integral part of the case, and the part that looked like a chapter ring was the case itself.
The SKX007 compatible PAM case, of course, has a removable chapter ring,
so we will check the alignment level and consider the possibility of installing a larger dial.

Quick review:
First of all the overall impression of the product is very good.
The shape of this new titanium/bronze case launched by Heimdallr is similar to a modern submersible case.
The chapter ring on this case does not appear to be removable. (I haven't actually disassembled the case yet)
The caseback itself is flat and has only one groove on the case side for the waterproof gasket,
which makes me somewhat concerned about waterproofing.

Thanks again for precious information.
Look forward to see your build.

I purchased a bronze lug watch from the following link.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004801020615.html
Unexpectedly, the MMLP dial was included from the beginning.
It is quite an interesting build, but there are a few problems.
The crown is not screwed in.
It does not appear to be water resistant.

Thanks for sharing
Nice find for this price, with a bonus Brevet crown.
The listing you've linked shows a superdome "sapphire", and "200m" WR
No movement ring and no clamps,
dial feet keys non locked, CN style
At least it's a 6497 so you'll be able to modify easilly.

Man these 40/42’er cases are all over AliE as of now. I think I’m going to get one too.

Ok this is interesting…
An Amphibia homage with a Miyota movement for almost as much as a real Amphibia. Probably a better watch than the real one.
