Almost full Franken 5167

[JonathanLing91]

I use 3kf base because the movement. If I yse zf base, I need to remove dial feet which is the most expensive part. Moreove, after rebrushed i think there are no different from gen case.

My watch smith do it for me. He has done many gen case before so it very easy for him to make 3kf case to gen spec.

That makes perfect sense. It’d be a travesty to do that to a gen dial. Enjoy your watch mate!

Would you mind sharing the cost of parts? A Super Franken 5167 is my dream.

That would be awesome to find out.

No, as I said, it's easier to reshare bezel than transplant movement to another one.

Can I ask how much the dial set you back? I see one on Chrono24 for 2k

Not 100% matched but better than stock, especially white lume on Hands on v2 is very annoying.

Congrats buddy very impressive! I currently have a 5167 Franken build in progress too. I have gone with the ZF case as opposed to the 3K (as I prefer the profiles to match the ‘Swiss made’ dial version). ZF case modified to take the 324 cal movement. It’s currently in build progress with my watch smith who is brilliant.

ZF case (modded)
Gen dial
Gen DW
Gen strap
ZF clasp

Will post some pics once I receive it

Cheers

Depending on condition btw 1.500 to 2.500€

Looks great! Does the dial end up damaged in this mod, or is there still re-sale value should you decide to rid of it?

Hello friends,
I put the post back together and I didn't really understand the theme for the needles.
none are mounted directly without modification.
or which one works directly as a plug and play replacement.
