Blanc Pain X Swatch metal mod
- Thread starter lost-cavalier
- Start date
Can't wait to see what you come up with on this metal mod. I saw a thread of yours on another site showcasing the Moonswatch mods and was so impressed. I ended up doing the full moon swatch metal mod because of you. Need the BlancpainxSwatch metal mod in my life!
this one
And this one
Someone on reddit made these ones but I havent seen any info on where the case comes from

Thanks for sharing. I’ve now commented on both of those posts and hoping to hear back. Bought some reps on DHgate while looking for cases.
I've been working on this mod a bit more. The biggest issue I am running into is dial, case, and bezel compatibility.
I ordered this guy just for giggles as it seems (fingers crossed) to be the right size and looks pretty good. Quality probably won't be great though. Will try and replace the guts from the rep into this piece.
Other alternatives that i'm considering are below. Case size and dial compatibility seems right, though sellers won't confirm size of the bezel. Once I get the reps i'll comment back on size of the dial and bezel. For $70 might try both of these below. However, i've then got to figure out a bezel which is proving to be difficult. Odd sizing all around. I really want the Fifty Fathom bezel and not the flat one that's got more size variety.
If anyone has done better or figured this out, please let me know!
-Case 1
-Case 2
Summary
Rep:
Dial was measured elsewhere at 31MM, will confirm when I receive mine.
Bezel TBD
Case:
I've been looking for a 42MM - 45MM dive case which fits a 31MM dial. See cases above, they MAY work.
Bezel:
Biggest challenge thus far, FF bezel is the one desired while size options aren't great. Have found 38MM, 42.6MM, and 42.7MM.
Strap:
Have not looked at all in this department.

@Pinion Minion and I bought exactly the same ali homage
it's not great but it will do
i just got the dhgate rep today (pretty impressed, it looks really nice ootb)
so this is going to be a week end project
Love to hear it. I've got an Atlantic and Ocean of Storms incoming. Only got the OoS Ali homage. Looking forward to seeing your work, been very excited about this mod since the crossover was released.
Just arrived today. It's kinda crappy but it's a start. Hopefully I can pry it apart this afternoon- I'll send pics
Thank God it has a warranty card!!!

Quality is ok but the finish feels cheap
The plastic rep is actually better especially in black plastic
@Pinion Minion
Well...monkey farts ..
Guess I'll just keep looking for cases..
how do you remove the rep insides?
i have a moving rotor, but I don't see how to get it out and acces the stem release?
