I was thinking you could possibly add gen bezels to these as a franken for an extra 10g, that would take you circa 25g off gen weight which is impossible to notice by hand.

Yes..but gen bezel cost is hight,I think 170g is good compromise..

yes, completely, I’m thinking of frankening one, I was originally going to do a precious metal build but I think I’m just going for gen crystal, gen bezel with maybe a custom dial/date/day wheel.

If you can get a custom date/daywheel, do share, would love to have a nice DD40 too

There’s a guy who’s based in Barcelona who does some fantastic work but he’s a non-TD and don’t want to be in trouble sharing his details but his dial work is great!

Fuck yeah, dude. Now considering the same little project on my end.
I have the watch caseback opened right here in my hand.
I don't see where you can put those lead strips unless the rotor is removed and then you lose weight becuase the rotor has tungsten inside.

Can you guys please explain where?
