Hello Bro,

I am evaluating to build a franken GMT and I would like to ask you one suggestion.

I saw you had a superfranken GMT (congrats, Wonderful)…I’d like to ask you how is clean bracelet compared to gen?

Is it good or it is easily spottable that is fake?

Sorry If answer looks easy but I am a newbie in this word.

Thank you for your time
I would say the clean is good enough. Only super noticeable difference would be the clasp and I would say upon close examination the SEL was a bit tighter on the gen bracelet.

Do you have by any chance also a photo of the clasps?

It would be interesting to see differences.

Thank you

Little update. Got a pretty good deal on another gen oyster bracelet and decided to take advantage of it, attached some pics comparing the new gen oyster, red G next to it, and a CF jubilee and oyster.

Will probably have some big updates on the Pepsi soon, will share when I know for sure!

I have become convinced that the single best “gen part” upgrade one can do to one of these reps is add a gen bracelet. The improvement in how it feels is so much greater than any difference in appearance.

Very nice!

The clasp itself makes the biggest difference in my opinion. The glidelock on sports models or the easy link system on professional models is just so much smoother and easier to use.
This is amazing. Seriously - well done!
Thank you very much! Super happy with how it turned out. A bit pricey for the parts but all in all a cost effective way to make it look a lot better!
