@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.

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds
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.dj57 wrote:Quick question: why do you exactly want this specific case? It is nice but also large.
Should it be definetely this one then how about these dials?

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