Thank you @Yellobird for this one. Very helpful info.

Im wondering if there’s something we can add to the watch to make it a little heavier.

There's something called liquid metal or something that you can put in the caseback. It's a drop of metal that hardens. That's what some people did for the AP gold watches to add weight.

Can you share a post about this, maybe some liquid metals with a High weight?

Can you share a post where to ger this, need 50 grams to get in my caseback when i get the watch 👌🏽😬



I've personally seen this happen in AP gold reps when my watchmaker did it.

Also other members have added a lead tape on the case inside

Hmm, not sure why you think it could change anything but ok :)

Some scales aren't the best and change weight shown even just by opening the clasp lol. Hence why I asked.

But thank you very much.

Thank you for this one. Contemplating to add this to my incoming 116518 as well

The lead tape doesn't do a lot.

You'd need to fill the caseback with a thin layer of epoxy metal or something else

You'd have to ask a watchmaker like @Nikz19 or @Oascom what they say is to be done.

Unless it’s a 7750 rotor you’re adding (read “get a hella thick watch”) I can’t see how you can insert anything in a 2100 caseback. Unless you plan to make your watch manual winding by removing the rotor.
