this was fun, i have to make several rotating bezels, so i set off to figure out the best approach, i wanted it to turn with the crystal, so
it would have a marker like a dive case... after i got the bezel worked out, i figured i had to have a dial, and didnt want to wait for
one to come in so i whipped this one out, since all i had were the stock hands (i thought a complete set...) for a 3608 i figured id set teh
dial up to work with the small hands... turns out the second i had was brass, and the hr and min nickle... so i ditched those in favor of
these. turned out really good, the bezel is tight and stays where you turn it, a little lume dot and red mark rotate with the bezel.
anyway enough of my ramblings!

i forgot and wound it, so you cant see the second hand but its brass with a red arrow and a tail.

any interest in more of these cases? just remembered it when going through the sale stuff, and found the test parts.

Yes sir... definitely

Would ir be possible to have a second (fixed) crystal under the rotating one?

OCD kicking in! Actually a great idea for WR. Should be flat to minimize distortion.... or double distortion.

that was the end goal, yes, keeping it sensibly thin becomes an issue.

Really nice, I like it. I could be interested. Could you imagine a rotating chapter ring fixed to the rotating bezel? Did you made the midcase too, or it's the basic 44mm pilot one? If yes I'm looking for a solid case back compatible with the parnis 44mm pilot.

this is the stock one, if you want a solid, i made one, i think blue has it, i just pressed a piece of stock into the crystal hole and shaped to liking.
