How much do I need to mod my rep to make it look 98% like its gen counterpart?

Is it enough to mod the dial and add a custom strap?

There is a cheaper and quicker way to do this - no need to touch the watch, that can be expensive and frustrating.

Just have 98% of your brain removed and you'll be happy wearing any old piece of crap on your wrist.

Is this the inside joke from the 98% gen like AP sale thread? :spit:

Do you know a modder who is skilled enough to do such an operation?

What I usually do is I buy the same watch in both gen and rep and then replace the gen case back with the rep one and wear my 98% gen watch like that..
I sell the rep watch with the gen case back as a franken on RWI for a premium..

You my good sir is nothing but a genius.

If its a Rolex you can sell both the gen and the Franken for a profit.

You will most certainly end your life as a wealthy man.

Please keep it as a secret, just between us. I don't want to have competitors in the m2m section nor mods on my back for profiteering

It's a slippery slope you are on my friend.

Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me.

So do you think I can take my Gen and turn it into a 98% rep? Asking for a friend...

Probably. The rep caseback might need some modding to fit on a gen. Otherwise just go with the crack method. You will be able to sell your gen That way and have both money, a great rep and crack. WIN WIN WIN.

Talk to Tripdog. He seems to know quit a bit about these things.

Good luck with the project.
