Show us the whole watch :clap:

Do athayas mini fiddy casebacks work?
I would think so, but last time I checked it was out of stock.

I took inspiration from @straps68 second build but instead of the Stern N plexi I used the taller HW.

The dial is a beautiful Belkin12 dial that fits the bill perfectly.

While I have a case back from Athaya on my buid (from 2014), AFAIK current Athaya mini fiddy case backs DO NOT fit this case. I believe you can get one that does from @Kp0y. Check the sales section.

I have a really sharp edge on my sternkreuz HW plexi.
At the bottom of the dome. I never seen that on the other many sizes I already ordered. I get that on the paire I ordered....?

Looks like a production failure!
Had lots of sternkreuz hw and never this sharp edge!
But i'm sure you can sand/polish this away! This plexis are very easy to sand and polish!

Thanks for the tip. I can vouch for Kp0y caseback, it does fit nicely.
