Ultimate Franken JF 16610LV by Harleysta91

[tinitonsi]

Hi guys

As promised to some friends, today I share my ultimate Franken 16610LV made by my friend and member Harleysta91

Before I talk about the watch, I’d like to spend some time for this locally based guy. He makes and posts several good quality stuff daily in the Italian section => https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/la-dolce-vita-italian-section

He’s a very passionate guy, who really knows and loves working on watches. Damn, he called me once at 2 o’clock in the morning when he me saw online on WhatsApp, just to tell me something about this watch while he was servicing it, this is passion guys, not for profit.

Now let’s talk about the watch. It's based on the latest JF no rehaut and it has the following specs:

- Gen bezel
- Gen insert
- Gen crystal with LEC no AR
- Gen DW
- Gen crown
- Gen 93250 clasp
- Gen dial (soon)
- Gen hands (soon)
- Gen bracelet (soon)
- Gen seals (all of them) lubed and WP done
- Servicing the movement (will hybrid it soon with many gen parts)
- Polishing/rebrushing case and bracelet (100% gen-spec)

Now onto the pics

And some daylight shots

Hope you guys enjoyed, all comments are welcome
Cheers

Approximately what kind of money does a project like this require?

Gen bezel and insert will cost about USD1500 brand new
Gen crystal with no AR probably USD180
Gen hands USD350 at least
Gen dial I am not sure
Gen DW is USD150 to 200
Gen crown USD200
Gen movements parts can range from USD50 to USD100 per part
Dont know about gen clasp
And of course you need the JF base watch.
