What you think of the franken build

[fixwatch.co.uk]

Hi guys,

I had a customer request me to build them a ARF 116610LN with a roulette datewheel!

Personally I think it looks odd but quirky!

Here’s the spec
Arf 116610LN
Genuine glass
Genuine roulette datewheel
Genuine 3135 movement serviced by me

Let’s discuss

Great work, but I don't care for the look. A member recently did this on a black Yachti, but it had a red seconds hand and some red text on the dial that complimented the DW nicely. It was instantly attractive. This one, not so much. It looks odd. Maybe with those other elements (which are available) it would also look great. It is a fantasy watch, so why not broaden the scope?

I’m going to relay this back to customer, I never through if changing the other parts!

I bet red datewheel would look good with seadweller a with their read writing

I’ve got a roulette datewheel in my ZZF Franken Build and I love it, even though it’s odd, it is refreshing everyday seeing a different colour datewheel. Makes you take a lot of photos

As they say, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. For me, it looks odd but who am I to judge

If your customer prefers it that way, so be it...

I think it looks kinda cool ;D

Since we're at this topic on the DW, have anyone ever tried fixing a DW with arabic or chinese characters? I saw the DW on its own, looks quite cool.
