Hi, I got a bit stuck on my Landeron 51 restoration project. I can't find a modern case that is compatible with it. My main issue is not the diameter, but the angle of the pushers in relation to the stem.

I've tried some cases I got from Aliexpress:

  • ST1901/2/3 works perfectly for a Valjoux 7730 and Venus 188. But the angle of the pushers in relation the stem is incompatible. 
  • VK63 movement case is too small for either a Landeron, Valjoux or Venus.

Anyone had any luck in finding a modern case that fits the Landerons?

      Hello, looking forward to participating on the forum here! I will mostly be listening and asking questions since I am an amateur hobbyist. I have most of the beginner hand tools and a Timegrapher. The extent of my tinkering consists of a successful Seiko 7S26 to NH36 movement swap inside an all original 1997 SKX007, along with a bunch of battery changes for friends and family. I have yet to tackle full disassembly and cleaning. Right now, I don't really have the budget or time to invest in a cleaning setup (even manual cleaning), but hopefully soon! I joined because I recently purchased a mechanical Timex Camper from 1994, and my searches for information regarding servicing and swapping out these Timex mechanical movements consistently led me to Watch Repair Talk. There is also a wealth of knowledge here about dial design, another area of interest for me. My other hobbies includes leather working (mostly small pieces, shoes eventually), crochet, sewing (would love to make clothing), design (especially type design), home espresso, cocktails, and tennis. I want to buy a film camera, but I don't need yet another expensive hobby involving last-century technology. Yes, I have ADHD.
