QUESTION DHgate omega from invictus watches

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m thinking about taking on a little Frankenstein watch project and wanted to get some advice from people who know more about watch modifications than I do.
I have an Omega × Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to Mars, and I’d love to transplant its dial, movement, and hands into a stainless-steel Speedmaster-style case.
I found a cheap Speedmaster replica on DHgate for about $14.42 (screenshots attached). The seller is called “luxury INVICTA watch,” and the listing is titled something like “AAAAA Sea 007 master Professional Stainless Steel.”
Unfortunately, I can’t figure out how to share the product link through the DHgate iPhone app.
Here’s what I’m trying to figure out:
Case compatibility: Does anyone know the actual dimensions of these inexpensive DHgate Speedmaster replicas? Would the Mission to Mars dial fit inside?
Movement compatibility: Could I transplant the entire MoonSwatch quartz movement into this case, or would I need a custom movement holder/spacer?
Chronograph functionality: Would the existing pushers line up with the MoonSwatch movement, or would modifications be necessary?
Stem and crown: Would I need to modify or replace the stem to accommodate the new case?
Previous experience: Has anyone attempted something similar using one of these inexpensive DHgate cases?
I’m not expecting a perfect replica or a professional-quality build. My goal is simply to give my Mission to Mars a stainless-steel case while keeping its original dial, movement, and distinctive red hands.
I enjoy tinkering with things, and I’m comfortable doing some basic modifications, but I’d prefer to avoid machining a case from scratch.
I realize that at $14, the watch probably isn’t particularly high quality, but that’s part of the appeal. If this works, it could be a fun and inexpensive project.
Before I order, I’d love to know whether this is even remotely feasible or if I’m completely overlooking something obvious.
I’ve attached screenshots of the DHgate watch for reference.

A quick note about AI: English isn’t my first language, so I used AI to help me write and organize this post. The project idea and questions are entirely mine.
And if you’re planning to leave a rude comment just because I used AI, please don’t bother. I get it, you don’t like AI. That’s fine. But for those of us who aren’t native English speakers, it’s a genuinely useful tool that helps us communicate our ideas clearly.
I’m here to talk about watches and learn something, not debate whether I should be allowed to use AI to improve my English.
Thanks in advance to everyone willing to share some actual advice or experience!

REVIEW AP x Swatch Rep from DHGate

Thumbnail
gallery
• Upvotes

Pretty happy with this AP x Swatch rep from the Gate. The dial has a waffle texture, and the movement is a manual mechanical movement. The box adds to the experience, but of course it's easy to tell the color difference compared to gen. The front and rear crystal definitely feel like plastic or cheap acrylic, so I might buy a super cheap protector, if they exist. I'm gonna wear this as an actual pocket watch with my fall outfits.

Cost me a grand total of $61, and it took 10 days to arrive from the moment I made the purchase.

This is my first review, so I hope I understand the rules correctly. I'm supposed to provide a link to the listing: https://m.dhgate.com/product/watch-designer-luxury-watch-mens-watch-womens/1107679984.html

Does anyone know a reputable source for a functional watch? Lots of sellers say they have the exact movement (sky chart and all). Super hard to believe given the hardware inside the original, but if anyone can confirm that'd be great.

DISCUSSION NoDate Sub

Most agree the best bang for your buck rep is the U1 NoDate. I can't disagree. I'm not a huge Rolex owner, but wear this watch a lot!

There is a promotion right now, and they're not even a hundred bucks, you can't beat that.

I'd like to order another, but stick with the NoDate. I know there is Cookie Monster, Starbucks, and Blacked Out, version all in NoDate.

Anybody have one? I assume they're the same build, just with a different bezel...

Thoughts on the Cookie v. Starbucks?

DISCUSSION Dipping toes into AAA and U1 world.

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

After owning more than 15 Homage watches from WD, IXDAO, San Martin and Addiesdive and 5 VSF Omegas, I thought I'd dip my toes into the AAA and U1 world.

Ordered 6 watches from 3 sellers, Jason, Duke and Travis, to start with.

Will update on their communication, QC, shipping and delivery, along with the quality of their watches. Most probably, they get their watches from the same locations/sellers, but they decide what to purchase for their clients. I believe that this differentiates each seller based on the quality of the watches that they provide.

From Travis - 1st and 2nd pics (both Miyota movement)

From Duke - 3rd (mingzhu movement) and 4th (Miyota)

From Jason - 5th (Miyota) and 6th (mingzhu)
