Revisiting this.  Looks like the PW changed from ***999.  I emailed about a week ago, no response.  Even tried 'tumbling' some obvious PW choices.  If anyone has the most recent please DM.  -or to the OP Is Ruby gone?

I think Ruby is gone. When Ruby does  answer their emails, they tell you to go to their new site:  https://vintagewatchpart.net/

The password is still 666999

The pictures and offerings still are the same.  I haven't tried to order anything from them, so I'm not sure if their service is still the same.

Looks great!

Here's another Moonswatch in a metal case. Mission to Mars. I love the white face and the red hands. This one isn't mine.

You will also need a new stem for the PE50 movement. The original one will be too short.

Speedmaster MoonSwatch with a stainless case and Holzer bracelet

You passed!

Looks great!

What movement did you use? How is the BiVintage case? I've been thinking of getting his 16610 case.

This is probably your best bet for keeping the insert in the bezel

I found this on ebay. I don't know if they are any good, but for $21, it might be worth a try

What model submariner? Is it an aluminum insert or ceramic? If the insert was glued in before, then that is probably your best option again.

I've had some of those misses too, but none as bad as missing out on a Milsub!

It started out as a Bond era Seamaster.  It’s actually a Closed Factory 40th Anniversary Bond Seamaster: 2537.80  (still has the caseback). I had Micky @SSTEEL swap the dial and hands. The dial  is a gen 2230.50 that I had lying around. It was relumed in a white super luminova (originally it has a green hue). The handset was also relumed to match the dial, spare sword hands from a 2254.50 with a 45m Planet Ocean second hand cut down. The crystal is a Prof Steve 2xAR and the bezel is an early 42mm Planet Ocean. Running an ETA movement. It’s my favourite watch  bar none. Micky assembled it years ago and it’s been flawless ever since. The only issue I have is the lug holes in the case. They are not in the right place and none of my bracelets fit correctly. 

Beautiful. It's now my new favorite watch too! I'll have to keep an eye out for that dial.

You might try Uncle Seiko 1171 bracelet. It has pressed steel end links instead of solid end links.  You might be able to bend them to fit.
