As i said before, visually it does not blow you away but the difference in wearability is substantial

I’ll bet the difference is absolutely amazing!! Well done - looks much more wearable.

You'd be surprised how such a supposedly minor level of thinning can do wonders in terms of the feel and look of watch when you look at it from the side sitting on your wrist...

However, this is currently only applicable to 42mm covered casebacks..

This means only 42mm ROOs that don't have the clear caseback?

Yes, he's the one that does the platinum insert mods for Rolex reps. Do us a favor and post pictures of your 15400 after you get it thinned. Thanks.

Good question. I think it is just a different person...lol.

Please don't bump an old thread just to answer a question that is 3 months old. It clutters up the first page of active threads.

Is this mod possible only on franken projects (with gen movement) or also on stock reps? Thanks
