How to choose a dial and hand for ST-3600 for this case


Recommended Posts

Hi 

So I followed Mark course and I would like to use the ST3600 to build a custom watch.

I've already buy a case on the photo. but I've some questions:

  • What need to be the size of the dial when i measure inside the case there is multiple level each of them have different size like 33.61, 35.56, 36.51, 37.32 from bottom to top
  • What need to be the size of the hands of if it matters at all.
  • The case come without any casing ring or lung so what I'm supposed to use to secure the movement into the case ?

Thanks

Ideally it should the the diameter immediately under the chapter ring, but if it's a bit smaller and still covered I guess that's OK as long the casing  ring is precise.

By size it is meant the hole diameters to match the mov.t, check ST3600 technical sheet. For length you choose based on chapter ring diameter and your liking.

By making your own casing ring, or adapting one from an assortment. Case screws and tabs can be bought.

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds, England. 
    • Actually the last two were not so long ago, I was actually after the stakes and the Trupoise just happened to be there as a bonus. Just counted them, I have 4 and another similar one but better 🤦‍♂️. So yes they do come up for sale quite cheap sometimes if nobody is wanting to buy one at the time. Somewhat of an overreaction ! I have learnt a few things from Kalle ( generally not what to do lol ) , but he honestly does my head in . I might even have to demote him to the level of our new watch term- generously donated by John-  of  " Prior Idiot "  😅 This statement make you " The Man " today. I've had some pretty good finds at carboots inc. A Dirty Dozen, but a Trupoise puts you up there on tge leader board today 😅 And my attention to grammar and spelling is failing today , jist though Id mension thhat. 😅

    • I wonder if they ever got the back off, dug mine out today for a change.
