4500v gen strap mod on BP factory version

[dender93]

I have the VC Overseas 4500v from BP factory for quite a while now. Recently, I decided to purchase a gen rubber strap for an AD in hopes to install it to my rep. However, as some of you who already managed this build, it is not doable out of the box. First, the strap is too wide for the case, which is the easiest part to fix by just removing a tiny bit from each side. But the hard part is that the strap does not clip onto the watch. Anyhow, some serious modifications need to be done, and I know at least two people who managed to pull it off but one of them is MIA and the other one is based in the US (I am based in NL/EU). Would anyone know an expert watch modder who could potentially pull it off? I think someone who can work with steel is my guess.

The gen rubber strap doesn’t fit?? I was unaware of that! Who is it that can mod that in the US? I have my BP being shipped and am in the process of buying a gen dial.
