Let us know how it is.
Yes... I'm curious to see if we can put a 6497 inside, the mouvement holder seems wide...let us know
For sure, I’ll report back once I have it in hand.

There is a 44mm mini fiddy no crown guard case on that Ali site. That would make for an interesting build.

It says a maximum dial size of 35.4mm and a standard 649x is 36.6mm so my guess is that it won`t work. Might be wrong info on Ali, though.

I found a complete watch with the same/similar NH35 case, there is more view to see more details about the shape, not too bad, except the lugs which need to be drill

That does not look the same at all, similar, but much bulkier and with a more angular look than the nice soft cushion shape of the other one. Also a less pleasing bezel...

I think same. NH35 is 27.40mm and stem offset is different

What about the 44mm luminor dials? Those are 34-35mm
