A guide to 16613 builds /FRANKENING

[TheHokage]

@QueTip @yllekp Just received the BP. Again, this isn't where I'm gonna mod off of but I'm gonna get my feet wet with this until I pull the trigger on a TC or WM9 somehow. I still may get parts though like a good bracelet and etc.

Which one is it? 9015 or 2836?

I will have the old Noob/BP/MBW/MK, who knows, franken tomorrow hopefully

This is mine out of the box when I got it nearly a year ago.

Looks good! And I have the 9015. It's a loud sucker rarely so far, which is good

Ouch @TheHokage that dial hurts, I'm sorry.

Yeah, it does. Again, not too worried about the super flaws as of right now due to me knowing I'll enhance or get something better down the road.

Throwing my build in guys hope you don't mind?

Here's my parts list so far,
Gen tritium blue dial
Gen tritium blue insert
Gen tritium hands
Gen crown 703-8 and tube 7030
Gen crystal
ST case with proper engrave by JMB
ST 18K bezel
ST 18k bracelet
Yuki movement being modified by @Tickleshoes with gen main plate, gen bridges and rotor assembly, gen balance.

Total investment will be close to $$$$.$$ when finished but well worth it! Embarrassed to say but it will rock hoping to be started assembling when @Tickleshoes gets my 16610's finished have tritium and luminova close to finished hope this weekend?! Then he starts on real gem the 16613.

Maybe it be possible to do a "folder" entitled "Ultimate Submariner Franken Guides" with each thread within that?

I know the question that is running through my head. Can you do a Bluesy build on a JF SH3135 16610 ????

The obvious prob is the rehaut. But will it take a gen bezel? I see it takes gen crystal and I think it takes the insert. I am sure there are those who have looked closer than I. Does the SH3135 take gen dial feet?

Yeah I know I could trawl through the countless posts on the JF but every time I o to do something my PMs and notifications become a tad distracting. I swear I caught up with so much reading while the forum was down.

I don't know how accurate the case would be, but:

1. Gen dial feet -- shouldn't be a problem from reports in the thread

2. Gen insert -- shouldn't be a problem from reports in the thread (I actually have three 16613 inserts, so I can let you know this for sure)

3. Gen bezel assembly -- shouldn't be a problem from the thread

Some people have already sanded off the rehaut engraving with no issues, so there's that at least.

What about for a BP?

I have no idea, sorry; I only know the JF gen specs from following the drama thread pretty regularly.

Do not start with a BP, it would need some serious modding and would not look right in the end. I have seen the results and they are acceptable but not a WM9 ot startime build by any stretch.

You are a star as usual , the only thing that concerned me was the gen bezel assembly. Lol I have as many inserts as you have and still no appropriate case.
