I also would be interested in some kind of modifications like you pointing out. Despite the balance wheel will be moving when you wear the THB version to me I would prefer the ZF balance wheel to replace it.I have a THB V2 15407 on the way. I thought about this exact thing, adding a ZF balance wheel with the fake balance wheel weights. I wonder if this would work. If I had to choose just one mod, between upgrading to 2 balance wheels, or just having one with fake weights, I would prefer just one with the fake weights since it's so noticeable from the front. Does anyone know if swapping to a ZF "fake weight" balance wheel is possible? Any recommendations on a WM that could do this exchange (if it's even possible)?
Another thing that's bothering me is the case shape on the THB V2. There is way too much space between the bezel and the end of the case by where the bracelet attaches. The gen is so much thinner. Instant tell for me. Anyone know of a modder who could fix this?
As legend has pointed out, if you want a 1:1 gen, then buy the gen. Even without these mods, I will still be happy with my purchase. Just like many of my build/franken endless pursuits, I'm always trying to get my rep builds closer to gen. It's part of the fun of this hobby!
I also agree the case shape is an issue for me and would like to change that but not sure that is possible. Might just need new case for the THB movement. Not sure which case is best maybe APSF 15500 or ZF 15500?
