'I present to you the Daytona of my dreams. Will you like it?'

Is it an attempt to sell or asking do we like it I wonder.

Its beautiful, well wear & enjoy.

If you get a chance, perhaps list out whats been done to it & what it's made up of, if you want?

It could assist other members if they decide to undertake a similar project. Or could give them an opportunity, if you wanted, to maybe suggest what else, if anything, could be done to it, to elevate it to SuperFranken for example.

You should replace the milky noob crystal gasket, would look much better.

What is currently genuine in the watch?

Nice watch for sure, I have the same one in my collection.

However to consider your watch a Franken it should have at least some visible Gen Parts. Your watch seems to have the Noob 116519 dial, the hands and v4 or CF bezel.

So technically your watch is not Franken but modded. But nonetheless it is beautiful!

Vi risulta che la guarnizione originale si vende insieme al vetro.

I think you're gonna get flamed for speaking non-English in the english part of the thread.

"Sorry then it is not a Franken it has no original parts are two noob case and bracelet 116500 and movement 116519"
"It turns out that the original gasket is sold together with the glass."


It's a beautiful watch though & the other members have made some great suggestions for how to elevate to the rank of Franken, but the main thing is you enjoy it.

It doesnt matter what anyone else thinks, imho, but you did ask, and got some honest feedback which is what the forum is all about.

Well wear & enjoy
