Are you able to allow me to send you a PM? If this is indeed a franken then I have been scammed by the original seller. Please message me so I can clear this misunderstanding and send you the original sales link where I purchased this.
You sure, it was only this one watch you (un)knowingly tried to shift on as gen that wasn't genuine?

Though I am very knowledgeable there are certain things I can't spot still and I took the seller's word that this was gen considering I could tell it had a gen movement and dial and bezel at minimum. As someone who I more knowledgeable than myself, if you had reached out to me telling me that there were non-Rolex parts in this watch I would have taken your word for it and de-listed it while we figured out what this watch actually was.
Are you taking the actual piss? This isn't the first time you're trying to make a quick buck. Do I need to remind you or can your brain remember that much?
If you get a gen, first thing you do is check through the numbers you can find. What number does that TT have inside the clasp? 93150, eh? What's the bracelet code???
I'm confused why it was assumed I was knowingly deceiving people by selling this as gen when I believed it was gen. I have sold frankens on the forum that are so close to the real watch that 99% of people would not realize. If I actually did want to scam people why would I sell these high end frankens on the forums instead of just selling them to a pawn shop or eBay or etc. ?
Also a basic bish franken of a 15400 with gen dial and you call it a franken 99,9% couldn't identify as fake? Really, duh.... legend
You’ll notice that in the case of the hulk parts, when the buyer brought it to my attention that they thought the parts were rep, I immediately cancelled the listing. No questions asked. I even told the seller I won’t sell it until I can get to the bottom of this. See the pic attached.. I’ve been in talks with the person I bought the parts from to return them. No one has ever made a mistake?
Perhaps, if someone had some forethought and there was some due diligence before banning a 3 year member of the forum, you could have messaged me with these grievances, allowing me to deal with them. If you would have contacted me about that “rep” case which I was told was “reworked” this would have certainly ended differently
I’m pretty saddened by the fact that after all the time I’ve put into this forum over the past few years, with almost 1500 posts, I can just be banned without even a PM to allow me to explain myself. Surely this isn’t right.
Thanks for the tag Q.
I do not know Moldy780 nor did I have dealings with him so I will not comment on him or judge him.
But a basic “franken” 15400 with only a gen dial (I would not personally even consider it a proper franken) cannot be responsibly termed as something “99.9% couldn’t identify as fake” just because of the gen dial,. If you’re talking about rep 15400s in general, the same “99.9% wouldn’t know” can be said about a standard stock v1-v5 JF 15400. Putting a gen dial in there alone does not make it something even close to gen and in most cases, it’s a superfluous mod and a matter of personal feeling rather than actual benefit.
I hope you sort this out moldy780 and I don’t believe in condemning you or anyone just because you’ve been brigged. But try to be responsible about your statements, some of us know our APs and overselling a description for personal gain is not something anyone should indulge in. A 15400 with a gen dial is just that and there is nothing super at all about it. It’s just a pebble’s throw away from a stock standard JF v5 in terms of aesthetic appeal and visual accuracy. I do not know much about Rolex so I’ll leave that to the bailiwick of Quetip and the rest. But I do know a little about APs and most “franken” 15400s I see here are just basic two-bit modded watches and nothing to shout about.

Also, Sorry for any typos. Currently on tapa so it makes it harder to type out things. For example, I meant “watch hunt” in the first sentence of my last post
