As my Mrs. kept eyeing up my 1680 'superfranken', I decided to build something for her as well.

A budget build of course, which will spiral out of control, lol. Went for the cheap and fast option of picking up the case-set, hands and bracelet from Raffledials. Polished the case to get rid of the sharp edges, re-tapped and installed a gen tube and crown and of course the cherry on the cake is the gen dial. Movement is one of the usual suspects, a 2836 clone running super solid.

It came out great (photos attached, suede strap atm.)

And so, down the rabbit hole we go again - why not pick up a gen 16014 case (which I did), and while I have that, uhh a good price for a 16000 case-back.

I'll update this once the gen parts are here :)
