My wife found out that her watch clasp/band was causing her skin rashes via (Ni)ckel allergies.  Since she could no longer use the Etsy-purchased watch she liked, I wanted to find a way to save the main watch body. 

This design is specific to the watch she bought, but, you ought to be able to customize it to any watch by making some easy changes to the included Fusion 360 / STEP files with a profile/outline for a watch face of your choosing.  I modeled this with a punch-out to be able to pop the watch out from the back side.

Hopefully this quick little design comes in useful for people!

Printed in Flashforge Galaxy Black PLA.  

Note that depending on specific filaments you might need to ever so slightly resize the cap up/down for a satisfactory tightness/fit.  Since the wall is designed to be thin and a tight fit small adjustments like 1-2% should do it.
