The Monster has risen - Super Avenger Franken

[boneyjr]

After what seemed like an eternity, I have finally completed the franken! Installed on this baby is a gen dial, gen hands, gen bezel, and gen croco tang strap. I couldn't be happier. Worth every penny invested!



Gen dial = $250
Gen hands = $50
Gen Bezel = $100
Gen Strap = $515
Rep watch = $270
Movement service and parts installed = $150
---------------------------------------------------------
Total = $1335

nice!

 

[boneyjr]

Yea... Definitely indulged on the strap... But what the hell! Lol

 

[PecMan]

u live only once! and since the watch is soooo nice why not to get the whole combo!
congratulations again

 

[Franchise]

bad ass!!!

 

[optical]

beautiful strap, and awesome watch. Goodwork!

 

[dustindu4]

Man all that money and it has a rep movement

 

[s65amg]

great watch.
what's the main difference between gen hands and rep ones w/o taking in consideration the lume ofc.?

 

[micahtheprophet]

Where did you find a gen bezel for $100?

 

[boneyjr]

Bezel on eBay... And the hands have a very definite cream color. Rep hands are white. I might swap movement. Right now doesn't seem necessary.

 

[Mr. Pap]

Had said before and i will say again, this is the one piece i wish i had a big wrist so as to wear it...

Monster all the way!!!

Kudos. Good work. Enjoy it in good health!

 

[Inushuk]

Great looking franken ...
Still waiting for mine to come back from Uwe ...
Enjoy

 

[s65amg]

cream color of the lume?
and where I can find genuine hands expect at the dealer?

also if I re-lume the hands is there any sense to put gen hands on?

also what do you mean movement service?

sorry for asking too much, but I am going also for a franken one but on V2 base, so I want to make it perfect.


BTW for all going on franken...

155 USD for genuine dial is good deal imo.

All the combo looks impressive !!
congrats !!
I like a lot the gen strap !!
ALE

The gen dial really stands out! Congrats on this build.

 

[boneyjr]

in its unglowing form, the lume on gen hands has a cream color -- not white like the reps. If you relume rep hands, then i do not see a reason to get gen hands.

I got gen hands on ebay.

By movement serviced, I literally mean that; I had the movement serviced by a watchsmith.

And 155 for a gen dial is a great deal.

 

[s65amg]

thanks for your info.
what do you think guys about the bezel on V2?

also will the gen bezel fit the V2?

 

[boneyjr]

Not sure about gen bezel on V2

 

[shandroid]

Nice watch man.

I've seen gen bezel fitted to both V2 and v3, although many members say it is not possible on V2. Not having been through the experience myself, it seems from what I've seen, possible, but not easy.
