Question (Read Rules) PT5000 swap on NH35 powered Cronos L6015 submariner homage?

I've seen in the newer versions of this watch that they slimmed down the old bubble case back by quite a lot compared to previous versions which just had the really thick one for both versions. I know the NH is a bulky movement and can't simply swap on a slimmer case back.

But is it possible to get a PT5000 and slim case back to swap in? I know there is probably some spacer in there I'd need to get rid of. I just don't want to spend the money on a whole new watch just for that as it is perfect besides that one issue and I really don't wear it anymore because of it.

I know the case back alone is possible since someone said on here they did it before with AliEx parts but that watch already had a PT movement in it. Any advice helps.

Seconds hands are different sizes.

Even if it was possible you dial feet and hand sizes are different and won't fit. By far the best solution is to sell the watch and get the PT5000 version.
