Hi Folks,
I've got a standard 300m and a titanium NTTD 300m, both from VSF. I'm wanting to make a lighter version of the standard watch (don't care for the vintage look). Would a case swap on these movements be feasible, or am I likely to run into all sorts of problems? I asked one watch maker who declined the job, not knowing if the stems would be compatible. Unfortunately, the NTTD is a no date, so a simple dial/hand swap probably wouldn't work.
Has anyone had a VSF NTTD open? I'm hoping everything is machined identically for simplicity's sake. If the project is essentially a movement swap, I'd consider trying my hand at it, or I'd be happy to just have a professional do the work.
Any insight greatly appreciated.
