Good evening from Bulgaria guys (at the seaside)! It is interesting, what watches fit gen parts. I know only UPO/v5 PO, but I'm sure they aren't the only 2. Thanks!

many of the higher end ones will accept franken/gen parts

PAMs of all varieties
Breitling avenger, super avenger, super ocean steelfish etc

pretty much any rep that uses the same movement as the gen will take gen parts with or without some modifications

best to research franken projects of any given rep for detailed answers

I know that there is a few rolex watches that take gen parts. But cant say the exact models. Someone else here will probably name them.

Also V4 42mm PO, lot's of DJ's, some vintage Daytonas, Some new and vintage Subs and Sea Dwellers.

Mostly Rolexes come to mind as they are the most frankened.

Thanks for help! V4 PO is really hard to find, but its good that I can have a v5 with DG4813 for little money

Yeah, I have a Swiss ETA v4 with gen dial, hands superlumed to match and Sunnydale crystal. It's pretty sweet.

@OP, it depends on what particular gen parts you want to fit in/on a rep case

I've never been to Bulgaria, more so its seaside. What should I not miss if I pass by there? ;)

Aren't gen hands relatively cheap ($35) compared to the gen dial price? Any reason you went with luming instead? Most mods I've seen have gen hands and relumed rep dial.

Actually, I was going to buy the gen hands separately but the existing hands were factory sl'd and a perfect match in color and lume to the dial. So, I didn't really have to do anything. :whistle:

I think You need... Well, I don't think that Bulgaria has something You can't find at other resorts. I found an aquapark I'd like to visit :D. Of course the sea, sometimes You can see big jellyfishes.
