Has anyone gotten one of these? Says 44mm and appears to be a sized down version of the 6152 no-cg case that's been widely available for a while now. I would really like to be able to buy just the case if it is anywhere close to as good as that 47mm case.

It does but you will need a thick dial or a spacer between bezel and dial since automatic movement have different stem profile.
I didn't tried but also can replace the bezel itself, from Silix 3646 for example, NW have this bezels on his site.

I see now from an old sales post that you used a Unitas 6310N in one. Did that require a spacer? I have a 6325 which is the same movement with with different frequency.

I meant for height, not the movement ring. Thought maybe you chose that movement because of the stem alignment.
