ARF SD43 superfranken finally done!

[LuoIsBoss]

Great work. Congratulations!!


My only feedback would be to consider re-luming the ghost white ARF hands to match the creamy gen lume dial.


I’ve tried to live with ARF hands on a gen dial but the lume mismatch (in daylight) drives me mad. ARF lume is simply too white.


Also is that a tall cp eta movement? If not, Consider modding it such that the hour hand is not too close to the dial. This makes a huge aesthetic difference imo. A short hand stack, removes the depth associated gen hands.

In any case, congratulations on the build. Would love a gen SD43k dial !!

Minute and hour wheel is from the ARF 2824.
So i don't know if the hour-hand is too clase to the dial.
