How annoying. LOL. Can't wait for Tapatalk to finally fix their app for us iPhone XS Max users so we can resume uploading pics through their app.

I just found out that switching iPhone XS Max screen zoom from normal to enlarged fixes the problem - Tapatalk can show image menu above keyboard as before.

Just finished up my franken 2531.80, for now anyway. What do ya'll think?

Gen bezel insert
Gen dial(relumed)
Cheapie 21j case
Clark sapphire crystal
A2836

I may get some gen hands and a gen crown/tube if I don't decide to sell this and buy a gen.

Looks like the real deal. There is nothing like the size and weight of the gen on this one. It was nearly costing me $900 to build one of these without the 1120 movement and on a Rep case, so I just went gen.

You're not kidding, I have a difficult time with the thickness. I prefer a watch around 12mm thick, while this came in at a whopping 14.5mm. A gen case back would barely help and be too expensive, IMO.

I'm filing the 2531.80 under WBIG, because it's not worth it to franken one unless done inexpensively. I have roughly $400 into this and it's about as far as I'm willing to go. Another $800~ and I can have the gen. I'm happy the watch looks the part though!

I totally agree with the WBIG title on this one.

That worked wonderfully! Thank you!
