Franken modern 116520 daytona

[darktheko]

Hi, guys

This is a new fraken daytona that I introduced you before as the wm9 daytona.

A few days ago, the watch has got genuine crystal glass and now I can call it as a franken watch.

The crystal was perfectly fitted into the case without any mod. I may challenge to exchange bezel to genuine one the next.

Anyway, enjoy photos!!

Just a crystal... and you call it "franken"??? Try harder.

Did it make any difference?

Sure, now it has 13.09 thickness which is very close to that of Gen(12.80).

it wouldn't make a difference unless he can make a new automatic movement with the correct subdial function and spacing that mimics the gen.

is the engraving of the rolex rolex same as gen?
it looks good to me.
I wonder where can we get more of this!
If u ever want to sell it man!

Seriously. Just like a crown and tube doesn't make it a Franken

to me a franken is 100% gen parts but just from different gen watches ...

The sub dial function and spacing is perfect. It's just the transfer gears that are rubbish. That can only really be fixed by a movement where the seconds are naturally at 6.

My Daytona has the same flat bezel but the ridge underneath.

The bezel text is better on this one, but the rehaut is misaligned unlike mine.

But thus dial is AMAZING! It looks nice. The whole watch is beautiful. I hope it lasts.

Wear it well and if it dies them make sure you send it off to Domi.

:cheers:

Thanks for appreciating. As you can see at the photos, mine has no ridge underneath and the centered crown position also perfect.

Of course, it has A7750 with full chronon functions running secnonds @6.

Didn't you say in a previous thread that you managed to shave that ridge off though?

No, I didnt mean the midcase. I shaved off the caseback a little bit. Mine originally have had no ridge underneath the midcase.

I can surely say that it is the only one daytona having swallow rehuat, thinner case, and running by 7750 movement.
