Lol guys you completely missed the point, it's just the matter of replacing one gear, nothing else ONE SS GEAR FOR ONE BRUSHED Faux Golden ratchet wheel.
2 min on ebay and I have a lot for 40USD. 2 USD each.
I don't see the difficulties.
The jewel on the bridge is a different thing. Argument about 1/10000 price of the watch is invalid here. We are passing here such posts about nitpicking over and over again whenever someone is pointing flaws on QC pics or like me when suggesting some improvements which potential cost is equal to zero.
Thanks.

I do get your point, but no matter how much tweaking is done here and there it will never have the look or feel of the gen. A gold gear wheel is not the only tell it will have to a person that knows the genuine article. I agree the wheel would likely cost next to nothing to install but it is like putting lipstick on a pig...........to a gen owner.
I have over 20 reps and always strive to have the best possible and have spent more than enough on franken projects etc. But nothing beats a gen, because if nothing else you have the satisfaction of knowing that fact.

Cool, maybe you can do the mod yourself?

My blue on white sent back to Ryan for him to check and fix it up (mine is the one with the second hand stuck at 40sec mark and stop moving). Happy with his communication and response and I am quite certain it will be taken care of by him.
Separately,black croc strap from VN arrived today. Not the best pic and looks better in real life and not complaining for that amount I paid definitely. Pictures below for reference for those interested.
Watch is back from repairs from Ryan. Seems all good now. Gotta say Ryan's service is top notch and based on this experience with him, I'm definitely going back to him for future purchases.
Back in action below this morning with new VN croc strap. Really makes a difference using this strap compared to the one that came with it.
No one have Gen hands yet. If you have $150 to spare I can direct where to get it.

^Thanks. I do know where to source the parts. Just wondering if this would be an ideal project to work on. Mainly concerned about the quality of the rep hands since we already know the gen dial works with this one.
The gen dial does fit without mod, apart from the dial feet we all know about.
I have two and both fitted no prolem.
