··Melbourne AustraliaThe ETA G10211 from the Moonswatch is slightly different in size compared to the Hattori VK63 in the donor (if it is a genuine Hattori movement). It depends on what sort of spacer ring is used in the donor.
If it was my choice, I'd keep the Hattori (Seiko/SII) movement and just do a dial/hands swap.

·Update: I finally received my watch from ebay and it turns out that it is a speedmaster quartz replica. So I am still going to use it but I am going to have to do a dial swap. Hopefully when I start it will work may have to remove the dial feet and use dial dots. We'll see.......

·I love these kinds of projects, watching with interest! I wonder if there is any way to swap the bezel insert too.

·Well after taking this one apart the Swatch dial won't fit because the spacing between the subdials is different, back to the drawing board...

·Can't you just re-case the MoonSwatch dial/hands/movement in the new steel case (with appropriate spacer solution)?
