Daytona 116520 Franken What would be the best idea?

[rolexaner]

Hello, i would like to buy a Daytona Black Dial 116520 Franken. Im not an expert, but after some reading i think that the new noob daytona with a gen dial and a gen bezel would be good. How much do you think this would cost? Also do you know somebody who could do the franken for me?
Thx!

Hi,

not trying to sound rude, but there is at least one thread I know off where this has been discussed fully. Also, the costs for a dial + bezel and noob base can be found out easily by yourself within 5 minutes. RWI also has a watchmaker subsection.

Imo here is my recipe

Gen dial (superluminova green lume)
Gen hands (superluminova green lume)
Gen crown (my stock noob one's clutch has failed me)
Gen bezel
Service the movement
Sand the rehaut off
Gen 78490 clasp

Last but not the least
Gen crystal (better clarity apparently)
Some say a case reshape but imo I don't think there is anything seriously wrong. But then again, I never handled an unpolished gen before either

but that would be really expensive , i would like to be under 2500 dollar , any idea for that budget?

sure, you can do research on the flaws that you can/ cannot live with, then find out the prices of the essential gen parts that you would need.

my expectation/ budget is different to yours and my views are subjective. I wouldn't build a daytona for a budget of $2500
