I couldn't sleep and so I made my "mini spork." It's an SKX013 case, crown/stem, second hand, and chapter ring and the movement, dial, and minute/hour hands from an SNKE63. Lume shot (you can tell that the second hand is over 20 years old): I figured this was more fun than just repairing the broken SKX013 that I had lying around. I might "de-5" the dial and switch the day wheel to the one from the SKX013 because it has roman numerals. Size comparison with Monster: Yes, the chapter ring is off center slightly in some of the photos. But it moves back and forth a tiny bit based on vibrations and whatnot... The original watch had this problem when I got it. Sometimes it's perfect and sometimes it's off by 1/2mm or so. Let me know if I royally screwed anything up! PS--Man, installing second hands is difficult...

Valiant effort . . . well done. Are you one of those elementary school teachers who doesn't want to tell their students that they did a bad job?
