Good afternoon to you all around the globe! I just wanted to share some pictures of my new Superfranken Yacht Master. I had always wanted to get a truly Superfranken of this model and I’m supremely happy with how this one looks but you guys are the best judges! Here it is in all its glory with all Rolex parts being totally new on installation.
The specs as promised:
Genuine Rolex Yachtmaster blue dial
Genuine Rolex Yachtmaster hands (all)
Genuine Rolex Yachtmaster crystal
Genuine Rolex Crown & Tube
Genuine Rolex datewheel
SA3135 Serviced and running COSC
Waterproofed and sealed to 10ATM+
The bezel has also been modded to absolute perfection by TomRep and the platinum finish takes it to another level! The entire case and bracelet was also polished and brushed too.
Two things I had wanted to do were gen bezel and yuki movement however I honestly feel this watch is done! Heard bad things about SA3135 but this one seems to run same as gens and if it ever did crap out then in goes the Yuki. Gen bezel is super super expensive and would take me to 50% of gen or more. This cost around 25% and honestly I do feel I’m getting 99% of the enjoyment on this one my friends. The TomRep bezel mod is really that good.. stick a fork in this Superfranken, it’s done!!
With the prices of Gen parts soaring I can honestly say while they may seem super high right now there is still no better time to build these super frankens. The parts to build this exact watch just so happen to be sat on TRF right now! As lots of people have been mentioning Rolex are now requiring all parts are exchanged with them directly meaning the entire Rolex parts scene is likely to become sharply affected once the current stock out there is depleted. I’m trying to do another build now as I do believe time is a bit against us here.
This Rolex blue dial is really something stunning in real life and I’ve found myself staring at it for hours, so I’ve taken pictures in some different light situations etc as this beautiful piece has a lot of different looks! As always I will leave it to you, the real experts to see what you think!
