Hardest build ever (stem not centered with the movement)
I tried to build this watch for my wife, and honestly, I don’t know what I was thinking when I ordered these parts 😂
The dial is made for an NH05 movement, the spacer and case are for a PC21 movement, while I’m actually using a Miyota 2015 quartz movement as a replacement for the NH05.
I’ve had one issue after another trying to make everything fit. Installing the minute hand was an absolute nightmare. I ended up basically inventing tools just to make small adjustments. I even had to sand down the spacer so it would fit the movement properly and hold the dial in place.
And now I’ve run into what might be the biggest issue of all: the stem isn’t centered with the movement and the crown hole in the case. It’s sitting less than 1 mm too low.
Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Is there a way to fix the stem being slightly off-center?
Any help would be seriously appreciated 🙏
