VERY Happy with my Vintage Superfranken Datejust!

Hi guys,
This is the culmination of over a year's search. Originally this was built with a gold dial, but the gold was too overpowering on an all steel case set. I finally found the perfect dial (for me). It's hard to tell the color because it varies by the lighting. It's kind of a creamy vintage, faded yellow, silvery dial with Gold indices. The gold hands complete the look and it matches my two-tone wedding band perfectly (OCD is an expensive disease).

All Gen except the Swiss ETA.

Great work! Imo one of the most universal watches you can own.

I am really curious about the hands, datewheel and the bracelet. Did you manage to fit them on the Swiss ETA?

And you managed to find a gen bracelet that is not too stretched nor expensive?

I am a big fan of the contrast the gold provides to the rest of the watch.

The hands are actually Tudor hands for ETA. The DWO was applied via tiny micro-dots of adhesive and aligned with one of those plastic jigs. Bracelet off the bay for just under $400...
