First off I would like to give my hats to thank my fav modder pompompurin for this tech guide:

https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...16710-properly

I was always dreaming to franken this watch and started with the movement hybrid 3135 yuki to 3185 conversion.

Thus, after the 2 bloody long years of waiting for my web scraping program to ping me the email.
I finally meet the case that I needed and quickly snap it off.

The case is based on the explorer 2 16570 case. Similar to the tutorial above.
It might sound silly but trust me these cases are bloody rare chicken teeth in the online market.

Here is the final build:

Thank you all for the guidance and support.

I shall think of the next franken to embark.

Please kindly ask me any questions regarding this built.

One free advice to new rwi members. Please dont ask me if this cost SGD 800 bucks.

I nearly died in my plant today from laughing after reading a member generous offer that I just kindly advice.

I am still smiling at my terminal now thinking about it.

Congrats on an awesome build. This looks like one of the nicest ones in the rep world right now.

Maybe you already posted this on another thread and I missed it, but could you list the specs of your build and what parts are gen and rep?

Wear it and enjoy it in good health.
