About this product

A 39mm solid stainless steel watch case supplied with a strap and made for VK63 movements rather than for a specific brand of watch. When you build with it, three measurements decide whether the parts go together at all: the dial diameter a movement of this type needs inside a case this size, the crown position at 3 o'clock and whether it suits the stem your movement uses, and the hand sizes, because hands with the wrong bore will not press onto the pinions. The offer names VK63, so a VK64, VK67 or a mechanical movement will not simply drop in, and it does not list the dial diameter, hand sizes or the lug width — ask the seller for those figures before ordering, since in watch building a millimetre in the wrong place stops the whole project.

Pros & cons

Pros


  • Solid stainless steel case in 39mm, supplied with a strap to start the build
  • Made specifically for VK63 movements, so you are not hunting for a shell
  • Silver and gold finishes to choose from for different looks
  • A kit-style case makes it practical to swap dials and hands later

Cons


  • Sized for VK63 only: a VK64, VK67 or mechanical movement will not fit
  • Dial diameter, hand sizes and lug width are not listed — ask the seller
  • Crown position and stem length have to match your movement
  • Assembly needs some experience and tools; sealing depends on how it is built
