Hello guys

fond of watches in gold (even if I have 3 gen in steel)
I wanted to try to build a franken 16618 ... unfortunately the bases already in gold of the rep are not the best.

I thought about working on a JF basic
Sub007 thanks for the gen parts that you find me :)

I took a 16610 LN, dismantled all the parts, and immersed in gold:
case
crown
bezel
caseback
backle

after several tests the right result was found

and change dial gen, hands gen , DW gen champagne and insert gen that will come in days

here are the photos

Is the base a JF? The current batch mostly seem to have terrible little CGs, but this one looks awesome all around. Well done!

He isn’t even done yet but he deserves an award already! I’ll be following this closely to see progress with aspirations that one day I will be able to gap together my own.

It would be very interesting to see the plating of the bracelet. How many microns does the plating have?
