There are some things that are simply impossible to find in the EU. I used to be in the watch modding hobby. The only good parts dealers are in Singapore or Hong Kong. Shitty parts dealers on Ali too.

For a complete SKX-style mod, you'd need:

  • a mechanical movement
  • a case
  • a case back
  • a crown
  • a sapphire crystal
  • a stem
  • gaskets
  • a bezel
  • a bezel insert
  • a dial
  • hands (x3)

That's a whooping 36 to 39โ‚ฌ extra for a 50-150โ‚ฌ mod. Plus 2โ‚ฌ per parcel because nobody sells all the parts you want.
