Final Franken 116500

[Johnny Depp]

hi everyone, I finally finished my project. I must say that there is a lot of difference between dial v4 and dial gen black.

i think the best compromise is panda white dial. I will arrive dial gen panda dial, we will then see the differences between them.

so, I present to you the new project

> i used a base noob v4
> The bezel clean factory ( very like a gen)
> little reworked case
> dial gen 116500 Black
> set hands all gen ( modification)
> pusher aftermarket very nice
> Crystal gen + low gasket 2.3

just missing a gen crown that is coming to me.

i think it's the best combo for Franken lovers.

I am attaching the images, thanks!

Wow!!

What are rework needed for the case?
Looks like you lowered it a bit.

amazing work!

 

[JonathanLing91]

Looks stunning! Mind going into a bit of detail as to what “reworking the case” means? Specifically, what you did?

the specifics of the modification, I have slimed the case side, because on the v4 they are the same

Great work but crystal does look a little too high as it sits above its bevel.

Ceramic Daytona has a different crystal with a different bevelled edge and sits at a slightly lower height to the 116520 but you know best of course. Here was my gen ceramic no longer owned. Not the best pic but I know what I’m saying bud.

Hi, nice build. Can you say what is the big issue between the noob and the gen dial?
