Post your best modded non-Franken AP.

If you want one take the noob version.

Jf color is greenish instead of blue.

Both are completely wrong compared to the genuine.

Sure, but for my budget the noob is "ok"

But the difference between the JF and Noob releases aren't significant at all bro, its not like one is double of the other.
It is entirely possible that a Noob MH may pop up on M2M but for this watch, you will need to consider the color as well.
Like what Quetip mentioned, colors on both are off and the best bet is to have it painted aftermarket like what Zeula did.
Speaking of whom, where the hell did that guy disappear to? Paging Zeula :hehehe: :qtip2:

I agree with you and Q about it, but budget wise the stock one is fairly sufficient for me (we already deal with a lot of flaws on our 500usd reps, so one more or less...)

 

[SuperLory]

Agree with SHB Noob is definitely good enough for a stock ROO in this case, since the JF is totally wrong blue and only colorblind staff at JF could live with it

There is a very decently priced one on eBay atm

Nearly as thin as gen ;-)

57th street case back in the lathe

After few hours of fiddling with that bloody case back and a gen 7750 rotor in place. One day I might chase the last 0.3mm if I am really bored, but for now I m pretty happy for my first thinning

Big ‘thank you’ to [mention]Dr Fun Socks [/mention] for the lathe tuition, the skills and the massive help with this work

great, but you absolutely need to address hands and cyclops+dw !

Hands might reveal quite tricky due to the colour... any ideas?

My wife locked me down since Aug because of buying too much rep. Lol.

Here mine repainted. However, I think by using JF for repaint will look much better since JF's markers have a cavity while Noob have not. So, JF will make more Gen like appearance IMHO.

Very cool! Do the chrono functions work? I came across a a 26331 build with a cartier movement a while ago on here that was very well done. I've always been a sucker for the AP Royal Oak Chrono.

Yes, the chrono function is working. It‘s not a "Franken", the dial and tacky is still rep, but Domi changed to a thinner manual movement, and then he made the case and caseback thinner. I really love the result.

What’s the thickness now? What factory is this

I don‘t remember exactly, and I don‘t have the watch here at the moment, but I think it‘s about 12mm, feels like a huge difference when I wear it. It‘s OMF factory.

 

[Keylog74]

I think it‘s about 12mm,

Thank you, indeed that's a big improvement

Mind sharing which movement you placed in here?

I wan‘t clear, sorry. Domi changed the 7750 movement from automatic to manual and took the rotor away, that‘s why it‘s thinner. It‘s the same movement, rebuilt to a manual movement.
