?...
The movement is exactly the same, but the crown position is a function of the case. The dial is held in place on the movement by a set of pins (called 'dial feet') that fit into corresponding holes in the movement. These pins are obviously rotated a few degrees when the movement rotates. The isn't a 7S26 dial, but you can clearly see the pins:
That being said, it is possible to mount a dial outside of the foot locations, but the pins have to be cut off and the dial mounted using something like double-sided tape. This is possible, but it is outside what Duarte has contracted to do for $25. If your favorite is a 3 o'clock case, then I recommend you buy just a dial and I'll put you in touch with Duarte.

I asked for two reasons: First, you've listed several movements that I cannot find examples of with crowns at the 4 o'clock position. I'm concerned others might send you watches with 7S36 movements (or another that you've listed) that won't work because the crown is in the wrong position. In that regard, since the dial has the day/date window at 3 o'clock, perhaps the dial you've had made are compatible with all the listed movements without regard to the crown position?
Second, I prefer some of the newer automatic movements you've listed because they're hackable and have a reputation for slightly greater accuracy. If they're compatible with the dial, without regard to the crown location, I might go in that direction.

Shawn,

I hope this helps!

Shawn what happens with the original dial that is taken off the watch?
Will it be sent along in the box with the watch? That could be of interest for me.
