Ultimate franken 16610LV, need opinions and help.

[XpanzerX]

Okay so I’ve embarked on the mission to build the best LV I can, so far the build is

Tc v6 case
Tc PA bezel assembly
Tc LV insert, will go gen eventually
Genuine Rolex 3135 with blue spring
Genuine 16610lv hands
Genuine LEC AR crystal
Genuine crown
Jf dial “which I hate”

So here’s my issue, the gens hands are quite a bit brighter white than the JF dial, I’ve sourced a BP 3135 LV dial, looks better, but I also have a complete TC V6 16610lv that I just scored so now I have the awesome Kensington high LV dial but wrong dial feet.

What would you guys do here? My OCD is killing me from the mismatched hands, so the jf dial has to go.

Here’s some pics. The one with the red seconds hand would be the doner TC dial but again the feet issue with the gen movement....

It would be a shame to clip the feet on the TC KH although they can be soldered in a new position. What about the 2 dials left over ? Would you clip the feet on the BP dial for the donor watch ? It might be better to relume the BP dial to match your hands. The TC LV just needs an LV insert and seconds hand and its a desirable watch again

Yea its a tough call but those BP dials are pretty good and a relume is more economical and likely a better match. KJ2020 knows more about changing dial feet positions if you go down that route. Hows the gen hands and the tc and bp dial match ?

BP dial seems closer than JF for sure, I don’t have the TC in hand yet, but my TC V6 ln seems a lot closer than all of em. Only bummer is feet position.

BP is better for me, the font is brighter

^^ The match is way better than the JF dial. The bp looks just as good as the kh imo
