BK sourced it from the Noob factory. Purchase a Gen DDII bezel. This one will be a super Franken. Installing Gen dial, crystal, bracelet, and everything else I can get my hands on :)

I can imagine, it's not going to come cheap either. I'm looking at getting the white gold version

Holy smoke - the bracelet alone will be what 3, 4 grand?

The larger question is can you pull off wearing a $30K+ watch?

I personally can't wait to see this build. I estimate the OP will have 6 grand in this rep when he's all said and one.

It won't be the only thing this watch will have as a rep will be the movement. It will be more than 75% solid 18k gold once I source the band.

Ill post another pic shortly. In short yes. Otherwise I wouldn't wear it. And I could buy the Gen if I wanted to, but the only reason why I am young and have some savings is because I don't blow it on everything I really want right now. If I knew I wouldn't be able to get my money back if I wanted to I wouldn't do it.

Probably, and Im ok with that. Look at all these collectors who spend 4-5k on their franken AP build. I wanted to do something different, so I ventured out into this model with real gold parts.

So where'd you find a DD II bezel and 21mm bracelet? A few months back I was ordering a gold plated 21mm prez and just for fun tried to find a gen solid gold prez for sale and couldn't even find one listing.

And also make sure its 21mm. I saw on TRF that someone measured their gen and its 22mm. But yeah, good luck with that gen bracelet.

Probably more than that since that's what "8385" 20mm 18k presi bracelet goes for. And good luck finding a 21mm gen Presi bracelet
