What AP Franken(s) do you have in the works?!

[j21]

Thanks Mate. Saw your Franken 15400 post, you inspired me. Lol

I'm new to the forum, not familiar on getting around. Pardon me.

Glad to hear that, its a nice hobby

Give it a little time and you will get there

Very nice 15400 project you are making, except from everything else i also like very much the solid white gold screws

 

[Nono92]

These are for 26470 Batman project

But i will order some more gen hands-dw's for other references also that i like, so not sure yet for the final projects, but i will like to keep it at max 3. Time will tell

How can you find the hands only ?

How can you find the hands only ?

It's not a simple answer

How i do it? I have found 2 good contacts that when i want something i send them a message, if they have it perfect, if not then they order it from their supplier from Switzerland and wait , in the meantime i check at internet in general and if it pops up i buy it and cancel it from them

How you get contacts? This will happen with time , it can be a chrono dealer or ebay dealer or dealer you will find from another platform or someone that a friend connected you with etc...

Now how they can get hold of gen Ap hands? This is really an answer that i dont know and i am curious. Because ap hands are not like rolex wich every dealer can order and get, they are in house-butique exclusive.

Maybe they buy a watch and sell all the parts to RWI members

The crown is lower than the pushesr, we don't have this problem with the 7750

33g... Then it must be aroung 10 g with a carbon case.

Its nice i like it
Not heavy like stainless and not so light like carbon
Its perfect for a big case like this one

Ah sorry, it's titanium, I thought it was steel... It means it would be 57 g with steel. And there is also the caseback which is less heavy...

Something from today

The new 42mm and 43mm ROOs do not have this offset as well. Frankly it is just more refined visually for me though the offset crown/pushers has been a trait of the ROO for decades. I am glad AP has their own in-house calibers now.
