Wow, only the second Franken RGRC I've ever seen!! (Guru had one.) Congrats!!
JF base & rubber bezel or Noob base & plastic bezel??
You had the entire watch/midcase/caseback replated in thicker micron RG plating, or just the affected areas after the crown tube was redrilled?
Enjoy her, lucky you!! :nana:

It must be a gen dial...if there is a rep dial which can have this config, I believe everyone is going to be very happy...and domi is not going to have any vacation in the next decade...lol

Nope.. only case thinned and sandblastered, tube/crown fix, thinned caseback.
No replating made!
Where the old crown tube was, the hole that gets filled in with epoxy or whatever, there would be no RG plating... So wouldn't the finish essentially be ruined in that area? And in essence, a (at least partial) re-plating is a MUST do?
I always was under that impression, for any franken? (I.E. Chronopassion needed to be re-sandblasted/bead blasted after the work?)
Wow, looks brilliant.
I would love a gen chrono passion dial and do this to mine + the hand base mod. Thats the only other obvious give away on this.
DW is amazing!
