So I was unlucky enough to have to look at selling some of my most prized frankens recently and while I am/was trying to dig up the details on some of them I can't help but remember the "blood, sweat, tears, and lots of dollars" a lot of these cost me over the years. Not to mention the thrill of the hunt. I know everyone has different reasons for frankening and I know I have seen some amazing pieces over the years. I am curious to see what else people have been up to in this regard. I've had everything from light to heavily frankened pieces over the years. I actually still have a couple with my most recent fellow member and watchmaker, I won't mention him by name in case he doesn't want me to. I do also have to give a shout out to bklm1234 & oascom for all thier help over the years too!
Anyway, I don't usually show all my cards, and I won't here either, but someone has to get this thing started. I am curious to see whats out there.
For some reason my pictures always seem to come out sideways or upside down, hopefully you have better luck than me.

Ok guys & gals, lets see what you got!
