    I honestly don't know I'll have to contact a few places and see how much it costs.

    think if you found the right invicta they make good mods case as you can file them down and do all sort of things have you thought of buying a new invicta ? look for the sales probably get one for £50 ish

    it a cheaper option as buying them separate can mount up case say £35 ... movement £25 to £50 dial £15 hands £7 strap £10 ... so surely a cheap invicta could work

    well I tried once but it's a bit hard then it looks as some say when they was being sold from an ad the quality checks was higher and a good chance of getting one that would last so some keep hold of them and as it has become the modder choice of basic case it hikes the prices a bit .. remember trying to get one before I would not go more then I think it was £40 quid so they put it on the bay and it sold higher then I would go.. but saying that have seen some at ok prices probably better looking at place like cash convert and the like they use to have them by the bucket load at one time

    does it have to be a nh35 as I might just have something that will work and is a auto but has a named flywheel but if not using a show case back does it matter ?

    It doesn't have to be the nh35 I can cut off the feet on the dial and use something else instead

    was thinking you might get away without needing to damage the feet might just fit..the dial I have been using to check has not got feet so not certain but got a feeling it might fit as it screw on the side to hold the dial in place so might just take it can send you it on Monday if you want just got to think of how to send it safely as got no spare movement boxes
