What AP Franken(s) do you have in the works?!
- Thread starter tosoboso
- Start date
The 15202 is not a Chrono so we will be missing a screw that holds the bezel with the case... The ROC has 9 screws instead of 8.
The screws on the front of the bezel I believe are decorative (some expert can chime in?) if you turn around (I will take some pics) it has 9 holes as the case too, it has 1 hole more ok the side of the chrono pushers/crown than the normal RO, maybe for reinforcement?
the only roc build i seen is by tosoboso . nothing will be off the peg you have to adapt

opcorn:I will step in for a brief moment to make a suggestion.
chris12345 and kameelperd. I do not see how your build will come together with the parts you have assembled together without some very extensive re-machining. To avoid this I would choose a different base watch with proper hole alignment for your bezel and then find a watchmaker/machinist with a few days free time to test different measurements and alignments guided by a thorough familiarity with the design of this model. I do not want to be unkind but it would be a real labor of love and maybe a miracle for somebody to fully put this together with the parts you have assembled so far.

Thanks man for the honest words.
I really also don’t see this project is going nowhere unless all the gen parts surface magically or take another route exactly as you said. But wanted to make sure that we are not missing some simple fix (as buying a rep donor and using those parts) before going into more difficult scenarios.
Hi everyone, thanks in advance. As chris12345 said we are stuck in the middle of the project and need your help.
Here is a picture of all the parts I have:
Can we please see a high res photo of the back of the case?
I know, I know, this was not the plan......
but things change, possibilities come and go.
The next project is planned and hopefully it will be finished at the beginning of December. I am very excited.

Unfortunately no but Domi is trying some solutions for the open Caseback.

I’m looking forward to see your build. Knowing you I think it’ll be impressive.

I have a noob v2 elephant I was going to start work on but have changed my mind, other watches came along and shaving tachys for a watch that's too big for me anyway is probably never going to happen.
If anyone likes the grey themes let me know and I'll set up a sale. I haven't really been bothered as I've got a house move on the go but the funds would be handy.

I have a 15400, black which ive had legend do some work on and I couldn't be happier, I was able to get a gen dial in it and man can I tell you how much of a difference this made.
