I just checked today. They don't share the bezel with skx. So unless they carry stargate bezel..

I think one of te guys on the SCWF tried a couple of different options. The guy with the store @ .nl, Harry? Don't think he found one. Bah, that it's way too expensive.

Do a "heart" transplant of the stargate to a skx case be a better option for u??

Must have hurt a lot to get the whole pip off....

I had brought up this subject number of times... but there was nobody, to date, did that to their watches in modding perhaps due to cost concern.
It will cost one roughly $270 to get the cheapest 4R36 from a worldtimer, take it off and place into the watches of their choice... so... nobody had tried to be that hero so far.

the R-series and S-series have different stem if i am not wrong... so it would be a tough job to also transplant the stem... then you will 'maybe' have an issue with the stem length in the different case.

its really alot of work to get a 4R movt... is it worth it?

HOWEVER... 4R15 and 6R15 is interchangeable and share the same stem

so to 'upgrade' to a 6R15 might be worth it.
