A lot of very nice watches!

Would someone please tell me what are the benefits of an ETA mainspring as a replacement for the asian mainspring? Power reserve only?

Looks great! But wondering why you would thin the caseback? Isn't this the same thickness as the Gen already?

Not 100% sure. I thought they were all too thick because of the deco movements. Maybe it’s just the 7750’s and RO’s.

I’m sure I purchased a JF v5 that’s about it. Why do you ask?

If you really want a gen look you gotta get a 1x AR xtal, a new hour hand with thinner black bars, wider lume on the sides, and gen rubber straps :)
