Wow!... These reviews are an amazing amount of work just to document all of it and then to share it on this Forum.

A great guide and contribution for anyone with any of these watches. Hope you will have one for Daytonas someday.

I appreciate your work and effort for these posts. Also very well written and documented.

As you know I just don’t agree with your 'rules' but that’s a different topic.

 

[Mendota]

Thanks for taking the time to create these and then post them for us all to use.

 

[mega12]

Thanks guys. Appreciate your feedback.

@M_Scott, Daytona will also follow in one or two months. I just need to source the easiest part: a base watch from a TD

QueTip, haha no problem. Feel free to add your rules

V9 3135 review has some updated pics to see different crown highs

Noob Explorer II is for sale

And a gen flip lock comparison with ARF and v6S

 

[mega12]

Explorer II has been sold to raise funds for a gen. What a pity. Was a lovely watch... Hope the new owner will like it

Thanks man.
There seems to be different approaches in „maximum spending“ for a franken, but that’s ok

 

[VaderTime]

read it, love it, thank you!

Yeah, I catched the base for my Daytona project (reshaped Noob 4130) and I acquired a gen LV insert. Was a good last week to finalize two projects. Will update with some pictures and a new daytona review soon.

Daytona project started

Hulk project was upgraded by gen insert

Project in final phase.
Had some complications, but as usual I guess...

 

[mega12]

I love this one. But some mods still to do...

 

[mega12]

Got the gen „inner part of pushers“ (like tube) plus a really good aftermarket „outer pusher“ (like crown) for my Franken baby

Another quick review:

GMF 126711 CHNR ICHS vs. GEN 116710 LN

Daytona follows soon.
