It's a Franken Affair - Post Your Frankens!

[LifeTrekker]

So, just curious, but are there generally accepted criteria or levels at which a watch is called a Franken by the rep community? Is it a certain number of gen parts added, or do said gen parts have to include certain specific parts, such as a dial for example?

I suppose I would say with even just one gen or even other factory part added or modified it could technically be a franken... but hey, I'm no expert. I feel like just the act of swapping out one part for another and changing it from the "original stock" version could count. I'm curious what others think. Either way, let's see what you got.

No every rep that has gen parts is considered a Franken. Now you can have just one part or many more it's still a Franken
what is not a Franken is a mix of 2 reps, like a noob Daytona with an ARF dial
