FRANKEN BY MARK1937

Too me it looks just like the current Clean. I dont know why people complain about subdials, on your Gen they are also shiny and not thin like 116500. Btw where are you based mate?

Clean seems to have improved the size of the counters in the new versions of 116520

Knowing you... a gen white gold bezel is next.

Judging by the cherry-picking @Mark1937 did for the rest of the items, I would not be surprised if gen white bezel ends up in that build. Great stuff!

I thought I'd do it but after compared the white gold gen bezel of my full franken Wimbledon to the CF one, I realized that it is not necessary. Bezels are identical!

Stock CF bezel? I´ve got a CF bezel white gold-plated by Nickz and the level to which it gets in proximity to gen is simply insane.

Ready for pepsi

Ready for pepsi

Wow!!
Take your time with this one. Wait until a very good GMT case is made. Hopefully the rumors of VSF GMTII become a reality.

Congratulations on that gen BLRO bezel and insert.

for now I will assemble the pepsi on a CF V1 basis (best case 126710 for me).


I had the CF dial modified by installing the white gold gen indices.

Your Daytona with the white dial reminds me a bit of my dream watch, the Tudor Tiger Prince Date Chronograph with panda dial, obviously the subdial positioning and colour is different, but what an awesome watch!

All of them are awesome, but I am very very biased towards that Tudor look

That's fantastic!
Where do find all these parts? And who does all the various assembling?
Your builds are impressive, but your BLRO build is looking to be one of my favorites, along with your Bluesy build. Wow! Wow!

...last arrived!

What do you think about how cf and VSF dial compare to the gen dial?

 

[Mark1937]

What do you think about how cf and VSF dial compare to the gen dial?

Both dials are very close to gen

 

[Storm.]

Both dials are very close to gen

Thank you. I didn't have the chance to compare my VSF/cf hybrid with cf dial to a gen. I've only seen the gen alone, when I had my Daytona on
I think the dials are missing the light blue / steel effect the gen has. you know what I mean?

light blue / steel effect???

 

[Storm.]

light blue / steel effect???

When you move the dial in sun light it tends to have this light blue color in the sunburst almost steel looking.
See here, my cf dial does have a light color, but it doesn't go in the same color range.

Gen, almost steel in sunburst

Cf dial
