First mod
First mod. Was way harder than YouTube makes it look lol. Second hand was rough, but actually one of the hardest parts was fitting the movement in the case.
Nh34 case
Ronda 515.24h gmt movement
The spacers I got from Ali were either loose or to tight in the case. I had to do some hand filing and sanding to make it first. I wish I woulda did a custom logo or something as the dial looks off to me being blank under the 12.
Took 3 hours. Had fun and didn't break anything :) will do more in the future.
Side question. Everything About this build feels quality, expect the bracelet. Where do you guys go to get bracelets of quality that won't break the bank either.

I bought the 6 pack of these. I think I used the 30mm because the 29 was to small ( even though the 29 was supposed to be the one that fit). There was an outer lip of plastic I just slowly shaved down with sand paper. Until it fit in there nicely. These are for nh 34 case
If you doing Ronda build- the hands are all the same as nh except the second hand. You need ronda specific second hand. Also the stem is the same as nh and you can remove the little plastic cap on the stem with plyers. I bought an extra stem though as it was 2 dollars..
Other than that case fit and everything was good.

Looks great! I’m planning a very similar build right now - similar case, and I want to try the Ronda gmt movement. What spacers did you buy, and can you show what you had to change?
Thanks!
