Nice build! Mine says hi!

One thing, the CP has a black tachy not the grey one that came with your dial. Here's a screenshot from the AP app.

Your's very nice mate, congrats and wear it well, I know that difference, will use the rep one like probably what's been done on your one to fit on the gen dial not a big mod, even when using the gen tachy domi mods it on my other franken to fit properly on the watch case.
will sell the grey tachy or perhaps use it for a next one, if someone interest pm.

Damn there's too many beautiful franken and modded Chronopassion here, will have to made a Chronopassion meeting:p, it was hard to source those parts, they came from England, Germany, Swiss, and America, gen handset and gen crown tube pushers from Germany.

I can't wait to see the finish...
It will be a top franken, for sure. There are more gen parts than rep parts in this project...
Congrats

I received many pm asking about the gen pushers, I would like to advise that when installing them they are deeper than the rep one, I read this info in the thread of edgematic, I will try and see if it is well at all or if it is better looking with the rep. So wait before buying some, next week could give you my feedback and the way I took.

Yes, that is why I preferred to use rep pushers. The gen crown fits without a problem but the rubber will age differently.

Thanks Edge, now Im a little less jealous and can stop my frantic search for gen pushers.

Edit*: Your RC still takes the gold for best franken. Hot damn, that's some sweet work. Although Micas CP is more my style.

So yesterday was in Germany to see my friend domi, I was a very nice trip, I saw another time domi in action, on this one he do much more work than my other franken the blue baton, even if much gen parts, we don't fit the gen pushers and the crown on it the reason is at the sunlight they are not black but dark/blue so not for the CP better for my blue baton, and at last the tube was not the good one, will see later to fit all in the blue baton.
to speak about the CP it was all gasket lub water resist test at 30, 60 and 100, result perfecto has could say domi, only one bad issu, his tester break down!
all the case of the CP sandblasted, brushed, all install and regulated, it is perfect.
i would like to thanks all of you for your interest, ideas, comments but especially GASHERS82, VALANTE, OSX, SLAUGHTERER62, FIRE007, DAYTONA007, for they councils, parts, thanks guys.

and now the pics,
