I finally finished my two franken projects to my satisfaction and wanted to share. The only thing more stressfull about having a franken project is having two at the same time... WHEW! These are NOT full frankens , I only did the parts I felt were the ones I could tell were "off". First I have to thank Mr Pap, Strodda, and Katt for all the questions, work they did, and help along the way. I ordered both watches from Trevor with no intention of making projects but you know how that goes...
Let me know what you all think and i'll try to answer any questions. Enjoy
First is the classic 42mm PO - 2824
-Gen crown and tube
-Gen hands (hour, min, sec)
-Pearl mod (hypo over lume)
-Dial relume by Strodda - this is so close to Gen that is why i didn't do the Gen dial as you will see in the pics.
-Katt did a movement service and fixed my keyless when I messed it up and installed the hands for me (thanks again!)
-Water proofed / pressure tested

Next is the 300m Seamaster Chrono "bond" - 7750
-Gen hands (hour, min)
-Gen crystal with full AR
-Gen bezel insert (rep pearl)
-Full service of the 7750 mvnt
-Water proofed / pressure tested
