Ok, here goes.

Going to leave measurements here so I don't lose them [emoji4]

Total Inner diameter - 30mm

Depth from caseback rim to dial rim - 6mm

Stem tube tap - 1mm

The caseback is a puzzle.

The ones I have the caseback lip fits inside the case rim. This one is different.

Hi ro63rto,

 

Try a ronda 515 or a 517 if you want also a day. You will need a ring to keep it seated. Plastic works for the ring...I'm a little in a hurry right now but wanted to drop this line before I go. There is also ready made rings that can be customized to fit. Then you will need a fitting dial and hands...plenty of fun ahead!

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

You need to now the high from the dial to the center of the stem . This is called the T . You could measure it if you measure from the point where the dial rest to the center of crown tube . Takes of the dial thickness . Then look if the movement has the same T at http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&0&2uswk.Lot of work i now but there is a help in the advanced to the right .

      1947 NOS Ambassador 'C'. Actually, the case came without the movement so the movement isn't NOS, but she sure is pretty.

      one of the problems we have is visible versus invisible. For instance millennium disulfide another high pressure lubricant black in color. I was told by somebody worked for the Boeing company that they had a piston like device somewhere that has eight call it around it to grab it so it has to slide and in the collet has to grab. But if somebody puts that type of dry grease on where grease with that in it it embeds itself basically in the metal and they have to throw the whole part away they get use it all. So I suspect on all the dry powdery lubricants that they will go into all the basically microscopic cracks and crannies of the metaland that's where it is visually at least until you scrub it off your visually going to see it which is good because you want your lubrication the stay word is. But I'm sure it doesn't last forever on the metal it's just a really nice lubrication
