Getting to the perpection. franken subc

[Smoke]

Good pair of pics!! I though both are mine lol. I filled the tube hole and redrilled it to match the stem height.

Sick u redrilled the crown position. Did you have to cut any of the inside edge of the cg off ,so that you can fully screwdown the crown?that's the only reason I'm not doing this mod because I don't want to cut away the inside edge of both cg.sasha had to get that done on his v3 franken with yukki

" I filled the tube hole and redrilled it to match the stem height."

That's not a v3 dial is it? The hour markers seem larger. Also gen or aftermarket crystal, right? This thing is awesome looking. Ivevalways thought this is how the LV should have looked. The gen insert makes this thing sing! The sl fit is perfect!

Sheeesh...
This build is making me absolutely speechless...
Mate, your watch is beyond awesome!!
How did you "fill" the tube hole to redrill it? Welding, soldering, unicorn technology??

Correct, wedling, soldering and redrilling the case. Of course I did not do this work. its way out of my skill. I only do swipping parts and assembling. Btw, there is a very specialized guy in Korea working with a very special shelf. He measure the inside, outise and up and down diameter to put the movt perfectly into the case. There is a movt spacer as well because the left/right diameter of v3 case is slightly bigger than that of movt. The crown tube work as it should. It can be fully screwed in and crown positions perfect. Dial and DW also just nicely centered. No tilting at all to any sides. More surprising things is that I only paid 100 USD for this Job haha. I reckon I'm so lucky to be in Korea.

I didnot have to cut off the CG to screwdown the crown fully enought. There is still very small space. It is just not visually correct. If i have a fund i would reshape the CG but im not sure at the moment as im lookin at other factories in any chance they will release any nice cases. As you know even Rolex has released single engraving cases. Thats sucks!! But its good news for LF and noob factories. I might get a LF case if Rolex continues this

Don't do it man.look at the shape of the cg on sashas not good .this is the reason why yukki will not work on a noob case

LF case is much too deep.side are couple mm thicker than gen or noob.also the rehaut is too deep by 0.5mm.gen single line printed rehaut is all that's being made at r factory now but the lf and noob rehaut engraving is a million light years away I'm afraid.the lf case is not gen construction so you can't use a gen bezel assembly either.plus lf case need tapped crown to use gen
