My Uberfranken 16613

[asjsrs]

Hello All

Just thought I would share some pictures of my watch.
This was purchased from BK approx 1 month ago. I'm sure everybody is aware of the quality of his special builds.
Well this has now been fully modded and includes the following changes on top of the usual BK goodies.
Just waiting to purchase some genuine hands

Genuine 3135 movement (fully serviced)
Genuine date wheel
Genuine Bezel insert (brand new)
Genuine dial (brand new)
Genuine crown (brand new)
Hand set from Clark

Not the best prictures as they are taken by a crappy iphone 3gs

Thanks

Tony

Thanks for your comments.
The total build was £2000 or $3200
The bracelet is also superb qualty in wrapped gold. Super tight fit between the lugs.
Actually managed to build another 16613 in black with some of the rep parts taken from the original watch.
Obviously not of this quality but still very good, with a genuine eta 2824-2 movement, it also has the same bezel construction as a gen so it will accept a genuine insert.

Where did you source the gen movement? The bay?

I'm not into two tone but it's a very nice looking piece!

Very impressive, that is an amazing looking 16613

Got the movement from a member of another forum.
He is actually in the EU so shipping to the UK was easy.

Simply awesome! +1 on the OP having the best sub.

Can you take a profile shot showing the crown position? One of the few flaws I've always seen noted with BK's sub is that the crown position is off to accept the rep movement, so I'm curious to know how you got the 3135 mated with this mid case... is the stem in at a steep angle?

And again... awesome!

 

[SecretAgentMan]

s it possible to replace the mid links with genuine/real solid gold mid links, dont really have to be genuine Rolex either & if so, what the price would be about?

 

[TESLA760]

Ruprekt has all this on his! Plus the better bracelet. . He doesnt have the movement. If you want a 3135, look to spend around $1800 and up.

 

[asjsrs]

The case accepted the genuine movement without any issues, it just dropped straight in.
Stem also in perfectly straight.


One thing BMW760, what strap does Ruprekt have? Would like better if they are available.

Again not the best picture (must but a proper camera)
But heres a view of the crown as requested

 

[TESLA760]

He has the one from Narikaa (REG). I ordered one as well. But the sides are not wrapped. Ruprekt had his custom wrapped. I'm waiting to get mine. I ordered it. It's the closest color to the 18kt. My 16613 is very similar to yours. One day I may spring for the GEN 3135 movement.

Whats a gen model like this one in this thread go for used? I though ive seen them for like $7,000............why not just buy a gen with real gold instead of spending over $3,200 on a rep? To me thats just plain nuts but jmo.............I know you are saving $4,000 but fake gold is fake gold.

Mint in a box too.........can probably find it closer to $6,000 for a decent used one thats been worn as a daily watch.

I almost bought a gen two-tone Daytona with white dial for $6,995 with the Zenith movement. Watch was 20 years old I believe but in great condition & the price was really nice but damn do I hate two-tone watches, grr.......

A fake watch is also a fake watch. Why buy any of them?
