FRANKEN BY MARK1937

Hi guys,
I’m writing this post to show you 4 masterpieces made by Nikz19. We’re talking about 4 watches who needs no presentations, all assembled with genuine blistered parts, they basically have just rep case, movement and bracelet

Nikz19 did and outstanding job, he assembled everything with the extreme care and precision. Everything is spot on and aligned perfectly.
I’ve dealt with many modders this past years, but I’ve got to say I met the very best out there!

They are all Chromalight.

He did the following:


Daytona 116520 Black (Noob base + ARF bracelet)
- Gen dial
- Gen crystal
- Gen bezel
- Gen crown
- Gen hands



Daytona 116520 White (Noob base + ARF bracelet)
- Gen dial APH
- Gen bezel
- Gen hands
- Gen crystal
- Gen crown




GMT 116710 LN (Arf base)
- Gen rail dial
- Gen hands
- Gen datewheel
- Gen bezel
- Gen insert
- Gen crystal
- Gen crown
- VR3186



Submariner 114060 (Noob base + Arf bracelet)
- Gen dial
- Gen hands
- Gen crystal
- Gen bezel
- Gen insert
- Gen crown

Waiting for gen Rubber B


2 of the 3 Daytona's subdial hands wasn’t a direct fit on this 4130 clone, the pinions were too big so they needed work to be fitted.

Wonderful work!

What did it cost to pimp the GMT? Nice watches, respect

 

[James2020]

Really nice collection. :thumbup:

Love the Daytonas! Gen parts for the 116520 reps make a world of difference, esp the bezel which IMO is an obvious tell because of skinny and shallow fonts on the rep bezel.

I would be keen to buy it if it ever becomes available for sale

Yes Noob 116520 bezels are total crap. However the ARF V2 bezels, whilst not perfect - are not that bad. Except the Depth, a slightly higher side profil and the font of the "3" numbers they are in my opinion acceptable when you are on a budget. Gens bezels have undergone many variatons of the past 15 years, so the ARF might pass as one of these variations.

But yes, nothing can beat the GEN bezel. However at the moment I am not ready to spend almost 1k on a new blistered bezel

What is the experts opinion on the ARV V2 bezel (I know that V1 was better but is not available anymore)?
