cases all the same?

Post by DirkWatch »

I had a brainfart about making something unique. But im wondering how to proceed.

This is what i had in mind:

So a C60 300 Pro case, with relief bezel from the Atoll. Both would be 40mm, but is any bezel interchangable on that level, or is the construction of the thinner 300 Pro different from the C60 sapphire/Atoll case construction.

I think you may be confused with the limited edition Atoll from last year because the current Atoll with the relief bezel uses the C60 Trident Pro 300 case. Can't see why the bezels shouldn't be interchangeable but you would need to buy both watches and try it to be sure.

It's funny, I was just looking at the same thing and considering a 'special' Sealander. I already have a movement to replace the Sellita.
I've got a few CW with the 36 and 40mm cases, so I'll measure up. The dials between the 36 Sealander and 40mm Sapphire and Atoll, appear to be the same, but I haven't yet opened anything up, so as to not invalidate any warranty.

May I ask what movement? I don't like SW200/ETA2824 (don't ask) but I wouldn't mind a LJP G100 at all. Not sure if 100% interchangeble or if it's even available to retail.

I have the LJP G100 ready to go with two date wheel options. It has been designed to be a direct replacement for the SW200/ETA2824 in terms of dimensions, so should fit, in theory. I got the ‘elabore’ version and have to say that it looks very nice, but wasn’t cheap. There is nothing else with the same power reserve that comes close in terms of price though, and new model ETAs are no longer available off the shelf, so to speak.
The only downside that I can see is the anonymous rotor and that cannot be swapped out, as it isn’t mounted in the same way as the SW200.

Nice! The anonymous rotor wouldn't bother me. Please write back with impressions if you swap it out! :D

Currently my CW dream watch is the 40mm White Trident with a LJP movement :D.
