dandsoo Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceejay Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I have done this build with no problems. You're definitely not putting a ring between dial and movement as in that ring sitting on the dial in your last photo?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandsoo Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hello I've sent the watch to my watchmaker and he put the case on the lathe and removed some material from internal bezel and managed to get everything working right. I didn't put anything between the movement and the dial. The last photo was attached to show the ring. Tomorrow I'll receive more photos with the watch. Thank you for your support. I've got a picture with the movement (automatic gear removed to show how the screws sit on ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sogeha Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I've had a long hard day today, I'm reheating some food and I'm hitting the sack, but I think it was Geek I saw it on one or two days before it arrived here And it is on HF as well.
