Building a franken Rolex 116610LV Hulk, without breaking the bank :)

[7five7]

Know the dial is stupid expensive but how rare and expensive are gen hulk bezels?

They come up every once in a while for around 2k, haven’t see a dial for sale in about a year, and I’m always looking lol

Hi my Friend! Is your penultimate Hulk Franken mine? however we are waiting for the tutorial on bracelet brushing!

Looks amazing! Nice work.

You mentioned you re-brushed the entire case and bracelet with a Bergeon blocks...Did you re-brush the lugs at all? If so, can you share your technique?

Thanks,
J.

Yes, lugs as well. I did some practice on an old case and bracelet, but basically it’s trial and error

To be honest, i have not given it much thought

ZZF/CF always had issues with chunky CGs, thats why i chose the VSF as a base. But the latest ZZf dial was very good, so im pretty sure its one of th best options on the current marked

Very good job! Congratulations
One question about hands: you used zzf, do you know if latest from clean are the same?

It’s the same factory with a name change, so I would suspect so
