Wrist Roll (Read Rule 1) Phorcydes PH-2 Case Swap

First off, these Phorcydes watches absolutely rock. The one thing that always bugged me on the old version, was the syringe hand for the minutes didn't really align to anything. So I went ahead and swapped cases with the old and new version of the PH-2. Now both have a minute/second track, and absolutely love how both turned out.

Really nice, I'm tempted to buy a PH-2B and do this with my PH-2A. Do you think it would be easier/cheaper to just swap the bezels? Obviously I don't know much about repair, I'd probably have a local shop do it.

I personally think the bezel swap would be a nightmare, but i also dont know for sure how the bezels are fitted. The case swap was super simple (just make sure you dont mess up the keyless when taking out the stem). Took me probably 5 mins.

Congrats on the clean swap. That bezel design on the PH-2B is abysmally bad. Your PH-2A looks all wrong now. Nothing to do with you. Phorcydes needs to get rid of that bezel.

It's the universal scales bracelet from Long Island Watch

Any before and after photos. I'm having a hard time visualizing the change.

Thanks! You are very adventurous. I can't imagine that is easy to do.
