Note how the dealer has the chrono running and the pushers screwed in.. obviously just keeps it like that.

Consensus is that a gen crystal is not even worth it as the v4 crystal is just fine.
So no reason for a Clark I would think

Only upgrades that are worthwhile and reasonable are CF bezel, and even that's in question, and a crystal gasket.
an ARF dial if you must. ARF strap or clasp if you insist.
That's it.
Short of going full Franken of course...

the price of the glass is not much, so it might be interesting as a mod.

I don’t expect the hands are gen like. But they are ten times better than the noob hands. They are aftermarket hands.

Not sure about the depth of bezel. That’s just what I was told. Tbh I can only see the thickness and color of the text IRL. It’s cost $40 more than CF bezel so I choose this one

Heh then dont bother too much
btw you can clearely see that the edges have soft finnish like gen

The center rivets/nipples on the hands appear to be a little more refined as well, although not quite enough maginifaction on the pics to see for sure.
