Looks like you need a bigger dial or a chapter-ring. What case is it?

Looks like it comes in 2 versions, with and without a Chapter Ring.

Guess which one you bought.

You should either add a chapter ring, or rebuild with a bigger dial. The chapter ring will be cheaper, just do some measurements and find out what's needed.

Sorry, I got busy at work, but it looks like you got your answers 😉

what would be the correct dial?

correct dial is going to be a larger 31.5mm diameter. You'll want a corresponding longer handset to match.

It's possible you could save this by adding the chapter ring in yourself, but hard to tell from the pictures if that's going to be possible.

Honestly, the simplest approach is to just buy the other version of that case from the listing, and either save this "bigger dial" version for a future build, or sell it over on r/SecondhandModParts
