The pricing is fair. The dial and hands are rep. The guy put in an ETA g10 in lieu of the pe50
It’s really a moonswitch

what do you think of the price of this one?

This is scandalous and a scam.
The guy is flat out lying in his description.

He « replaced » the eta with a pe50 🤣
What a sorry SOB

Personally, I love messing with things and marching to the beat of our own drummer is really quite satisfying.

@mawopo I say go for it! Have fun and I'd love to see the final product but it would be a good idea to blur out the faces because the Internet is a very weird place to be posting family photos without taking some precautions.
In the end i dropped doing the mod with the PD-1701 because of uncertainty of compatibilty with the part from spiralwinder which cost more than 100 USD... Instead I went for a whole new watch, the PX-1711 which has manual wind and clear caseback. The manual wind will allow me to make a mechanical watch work despite the back rotor being immobilized by the picture!

Ha ha. That silver hand looks great! The Seikona is really cool too. And the Casioak build is something I’ve seen on AliEx and it looks better than I ever imagined. Love all three!!!!

Yeah, the Casioak is stunning in person.

I have been thinking about this mod for some time now…
The bezel is bad on dh reps and can’t seem to find a reliable seller for ocean of storms.

The only correct size bezel on Ali is the bathyscaphe, not of a fan of that style.

The sub case is not the blancpain style, don’t mind that.

Could they have swapped the bezel of the plastic rep? I am looking at it tonight on my PC monitor and the quality of the bezel isn't great when you see it in high res. Not taking anything away from the mod as I think it looks great and have been scanning AliEx for parts :D
