slay Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I have a Unitas like movement that needs to be fixed in a fiddy case, but its not possible to use caseclamps. What other way do I have to secure the movement in place? WIthout blocking the caseback from being scred down. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketeer Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 What size is the movement? Ideally you should try and get a couple of notches or a groove machined at the needed height to allow you to use clamps or screws. If you don't have a local friendly machine shop, notches could be done very carefully with a cutting wheel on a dremel type tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slay Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 the problem lies not within the case, but the movement. there are no proper holes for screws. At least not for screws that would make it able to atttach the case clamps somewhere where they wouldn't interfere with the caseback being screwed down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerblade Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 if its 6497 size movement there normally held in place with a spacer ring in a fiddy case, you could try a WTB as I'm sure somebody will have one lying about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slay Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 the spacer ring still wont fixate the movement in the case properly, it is still able to move around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
