About to begin...

Finally got all the pieces I need to do a Gen MTTM to WD1863 switch. Only thing I'm concerned about right now is getting the pushers down. Best option I think I have is a low-powered Dremmel with a sanding attachment. Mark 1mm on the pusher, sand it down, test fit.

Only other option I have is a pair of diag cutters, but my small ones are cheap, and my nice ones are huge, so I don't think I'd get a good cut if I tried.

UPDATE #1: OK, word of wisdom that I needed? Crown pulled out to the first position and then push the release. I almost drilled a bigger hole to accomdate this.

UPDATE #2: Crystal removal is proving to be the most challenging. Right now I'm using a box cutter with a fresh blade to cut away the case to get under the crystal so I can pry it off. Challenge is, it seems I'm just scraping the crystal and not getting under it entirely.

UPDATE #3: Got the crystal off. By far, most stressful and challenging. I essentially used the box cutter to chip away at the case to get to the edge/bottom of the crystal, then used the blade to get under the crystal and start to separate the glue/adhesive. After many minutes of moving around, finally was able to pop the crystal off. Next up, filing the pushers. Plan is to use a Dremmel and sand bit to remove a mm of the pushers. I'm going to mark the pusher with a sharpie so I know how much to remove.

WD1863 pusher filing

Does anyone have a video on how to file the pushers to work with a gen movement?

Also, anyone know how long the crown stem needs to be with the WD1863 crown?

WD1863 Black V2 vs White V2

I'm running into issues with getting a black dial V2 WD1863 on Amazon. Ordered one last week with a 1 delivery, and it never shipped. Was told by Amazon to cancel and re-order. Did that, and it's still not shipping. I'm planing on using this to do a MoonSwitch, so I'm not using the movement/dial.

My question: It's hard to tell on Amazon, but is the case/bracelet/etc the same between the White and Black dial V2? Or are there other differences? Is there another WD1863 on the Amazon Store I could use that might fulfill?

Thanks in advance!

Amazon Order

I ordered the WD1863 V2 from Amazon and it shows a delivery for next day, but it’s not even shipping. Anyone know if there’s issues from the WD store on Amazon?
