Big Pilot 5002 Franken Project

[TESLA760]

Looks like this tedious project has finally been completed. Thanks to multiple forum members ( Sunnydale , Shaidx ) who helped me sourcing the parts. Last and not least, thanks to a Joe (rbj69) for the extensive modding needed to get everything to fit and function properly

Nice. A 5002 is definitely the next watch on my list. These photos make me want to pull the trigger even faster.

AR was done by Joe (rbj69)
Sunnydale helped me source the datewheel since I couldn't find one. Thanks for the compliments .

BM : congrats, it's a real dream watch! I got my 5004 since one week and I m in love with it. I just can imagine how U feel!

 

[sunnydale]

Yes and it is done! Congrats, looks great! Just one thing, looks like the dw could be installed a bit higher, not a big issue, I think I reinstalled mine 3-4 times before I was happy

My old Franken says hello!

I'm curious as to where and how you sourced these gen parts. I'm hoping to do to the same to my 5002.

Patience , help from forum members and more patience. The hardest part wasn't so much sourcing the parts. The most difficult and costly thing was getting the OEM datewheel to fit. Joe did the custom work for me , and did a write up for it on TRC.
