Hello
I recently bought an Air King case, dial and hands ref 5500 and wanted to build a watch using a 2824 movement and these parts. I bought a Yuki adapter ring for 15X0 and an old 2824 movement.
At the moment everything seems to fit, modified the hand tubes to fit 2824 size, put together all the parts but somethings wrong: the stem doesn't sit properly in the case and is too tight in the tube. When I remove the dial I have a perfect fit.
The dial sits directly on the movement and will be attached by double sided watchmaker tape, then the ring sits around the movement and the movement is tighten wit screws to the ring.
What can I do next?
I've bought a raffles #2 ring, maybe it will fit
Sand down the dial to make it slimmer
Sand the case on the interior were the dial sits to fit the movement better, but I don't know if the second hand wont be stuck in the cristal
Sand the ring were the screws that hold the movement fit to get the movement lower
Don't use the Yuki ring and try to make another ring
Some pictures maybe you can help me
