Exemple: Maybe your movement seat in a ring because the case is too big for it and your dial is much larger than your movement to fit your large case.
I have the problem myself: I need a dial who's 28.5mm diameter for a 2801-2 because the 2824-2 is too thick to fit my case.
Problem is that most of dials with pins on back who fit eta movements are not this size. Or them look don't fit my case.:?
You can cut the back pins of a dial(if they don't fit an ETA) and stick or glue the dial on the movement but it's a cheap trick you may regret if it loose up: Not recommanded!
You need to open your watch, take out the movement and dial, mesure your dial's diameter and thickness.
From there, find a new dial who's similar in diameter and thickness.
If the new dial is thicker than the original, your canon-pinion for the hands may be too short for it.
Also even you use a longer pinion, at the end the all stuff(dial+movement) may be too thick to fit inside the case and the back lock of your case can come against the movement.
At this moment , the all stuff is mounted but it don't fit:X
Take your time to avoid those fittings problems;)
