A dial arrived this morning
With my tail wagging I went right to it

Awesome color and nuclear lume!

Where did you get it and how did you manage to release the stem.
I am asking because the case is a top loader and I am lackin the fantasy how to reach the release button on the back of the movement.

Case is an skx but it does look like a Mm from the top
I don't think there is a way to release the stem on the shark type unless it has a channel that a special tool fits in
I'm guessing it doesn't and the movement would be throwaway.
If I was embarking on a San martin mono type build I'd ask for the component parts
And put my own dial in
Hope this helps

Ah, cheers. Indeed I thought it would be an MM.
This issue with repair is already bugging me quite some time and, in fact, is keeping from buying one of those great value clones.

If you message San martin they will do a custom dial print for you so I'm sure they would send component parts too
Would be nice to get a sterile case the shark on the back isn't the best for me

Love the bezel insert too! Are these cases water resistant?
