·Hi all, I was hoping that that the watchmakers here could help me with my technical question.
I have recently been looking at making my own custom valjoux 7750 watch dial. The watch case that I was going to use is designed to fit a dial that has a 1.5mm tall angled tachymeter rehaut ring that fits snug in a gap under the crystal, besides that the circumference is the same 36mm.
The custom dial that I want to install doesn't have a rehaut and is flat and because of this there will be a 1mm ( empty space) between the top of dial and the bezel ring under the crystal.
I was probably going to install a 1mm clear crystal gasket to fill in that space so the bezel fits snug, but I have noticed that when I install the custom dial, it didn't move because it was held in place by the 2 dial feet and the 2 movement clamps back of the movement.
(If you were to try to push to movement forward or back it would not move in the middle case, as the back of the dial rested flat in the middle case and the clamps on the back of the 7750 movement pulls the dial tight against the fixed middle case ring...... So as the dial can't move forward towards the crystal ).
Now My question is how is the valjoux 7750 movement designed to be clamped in the watch case?
Does the dial have to be pressured from the top( under the crystal) to be secured so it doesn't move forward up towards the crystal?
And are the dial feet strong enough with the 2 small back movement clamps to secure it in the middle case?
Is this the way that most valjoux 7750 dials are held secure in the watch case?
Any answers will be appreciated, cheers
