Crazy idea to mod KW V3 382 Bronzo

[DR3M3L]

Ok, tonight I had a idea. Probably a dumb one. Could I swap the movement/dial in my KW V3 Bronzo for a base dial like my PT 372 with V2 clone movement?
I realize if I wanted to switch the dial and keep the movement I would probably need to clip the seconds at 9 which would be inconvenient should I have modders remorse.. And I would probably need to find another bronze crown..
Any ideas on a Bronzo case with base dial? I realize it wouldn't look like any gen, but I don't try to fool people anyway. No one who I interact with knows that the bronze watch I wear is a Chinese copy of a watch that costs 25k.

As long as the movement is the same or the dial fits the movement You could swap in any dial and hands combination You want, but keep the running seconds at 9 so You can go back anytime. Getat and Jacksontze have some ranges of dials, they could also be used to be sprayed or vintagized, it could be a fun idea to try out.

Thanks Daywatch. I should learn how to do this stuff myself.
My idea is to have a base dial in a Bronzo case. I think my dream would be a 604 dial in the Bronzo case..
Anyone have ideas on how this could be sourced?

Fun project. Just to let you know, I just took my 604 apart and it seems to be front loading. I didn't pop the bezel off to make sure, though.
What about swapping a 372 and a 382?

Swapping the dials might be problematic, 382 uses either 7750 or st2555 movement, 372 and 604 are manual wind thus a6497 or clone. Dial feet are not likely to match.

Off with the feet!
Off with the feet!

I think the 508 dial would look stellar in a 382 ... which is what i've been thinking of doing - configuration should be right as well ...... actually scrub that it's just dawned on me that it says " ceramica " on the dial ...... DOH !! :laugh:

Maybe that helps you to remove your dial/movement
