Thats as good as it's going to get. Ruprekt has a similar piece. I made it close to that on mine before I gave up.

Are you going to go for the 3135 swap ?

I appreciate all of the kind comments. I'm contemplating whether I should sell this, and get the gen.

Going gen is the next logical step, as you're at 1/2 of the gen investment here anyway meanwhile.

The problem with selling Frankens is you hardly get the money out you invested: finding a buyer who is ready to re imbuse your investment in that Franken will be tough. Alternative strategy is selling the gen pieces individually. Good luck!

I'd pay for this rep in a heartbeat. Its not every day a rep of this quality and finish goes up on the sales boards.

Nice work! That's as far as I would take it though. I have the gen and it's
superior in the bracelet/ EL dept and dial text. Other than that, there ain't much in it aside from crown position, but you can't see that wearing it.
Those cases are nice!
