@Legend , so true!! They don’t read the rules,break the rules then get their parties in a wad when they get called out.

Hmmm ... I finally sourced a steel second hand that fit my 1975 Russian movement. So all parts are there ... - 6694 watch case and crown - no-date plexi (don't even remember the ref) - 19mm rivet bracelet - 1975 Raketa handwind movement - custom made 6429 dial - handset but they are still in a box as I have delayed that "Commando" because of others projects .. Now all I need to do is, basically : - enlarge the lume holes of hour and minute hand (really easier that it sounds) - lume handset and dial - check the movement and regulate it if needed (tha last time I tested it was keeping really good time) - put all those parts together - enjoy wearing it Thanks for chiming here as it makes me feel ashamed of stopping work on that nice project ... I'll come back to it before spring and probably wear it next summer

imo, to get the shallow rehaut, try removing metal from the inside of the case. But if you do that, the crown/stem/tube height would become different and the VR3135 wouldn't be compatible. Therefore, the other solution is to install an eta 2836-2 movement. However, finding an open 6/9 ETA dwo (with the correct 3035 font) would be a challenge; but you could get away with a modern closed 6/9 DWO as RSC has swapped service closed 6/9 dwo into 3035 movements before btw, for your inspiration
