Most franken APs (note this one is NOT "most" and is a very special nearly one of a kind piece), will run you $4500-$5000 usd right now...

:yes:

For one Like this will cost between 2 at 3 super Franken built, depend the price you source for all gen parts and for gen AP watch for using the movement.

today the CP is in summer dress code with gen (of course) AP black rubber band and tested for water resist to 100 meters by a famous AP dealer here in Paris, enjoy pics now

Yes I have read it but was back to home, hope next time.
i have think of using a gen titanium bezel, problem is that the CP is ball blasted and not sand blasted, it made a difference of result, I have to source for someone who could ball blasted it, I remenber read something about that on the forum, will made a search.
yes we could use it with an additional part but the waterproof will not be good, it is why I don't take this option, better the gen titanium bezel or the rep one with the rep gasket.
the gen gasket are really more soft than the rep, domi said after comparison the reps are better.
for the case screws, domi solved the problem, he is the master.

Could you point me to Domi's contact info/profile? Also, is he CONUS or elsewhere? I'm thinking about starting my franken project with my ROO Safari:

Domi is in the EU. Do you have a dial already?

Ah, I believe there's a modder in the US but I'd have to check the forum. Also, no I do not have a dial at this time.

That would be Chris and Wooky. Good luck finding a Safari dial. :lol:

By the sounds of it, the dial will be difficult to find lol?

True that. I mean it's not impossible but it will be certainly hard to find.

Fantastic thread...and what a passion for this... Chronopassion !!

I think those 2 sisters should have a meeting in Paris...both of them got the same father, were born in Germany, got international DNA and are living in France...(which is almost mandatory for a CP !)

Congratulations, but I really feel like a little boy now, as you can see, still few things to do: Hands and buckle first.

Beautiful Piece. AP clasps Wouldn't be hard to source as it pop off often . There is actually a titanium clasp on Chrono24 as we speak.
