So you did this yourself then? Not an easy task.

Yes, I have some experience with watches. Thank you.

My first rep was a steelfish in march 2009, but I have been playing with Gen's since a very long time.

And the gen parts can be resold if needed. I am probably the wrong guy to ask, but I completely approve of these Omega frankens. ;)
