To anyone not aware, on frankens with Gen movements they take them from watches with similar movements. Now people have understood that so the movements are going for a lot these days. It’s like when you have these rebuilds like a ceramic Daytona or carbon Patek.

On another note it seems like at this point regarding the dial it makes a lot of sense to consider a custom dial and then no one would question you.

Thank you! Finally someone understand. These are just sharing info of whats out there. I am not backing the seller up or anything. It is what it is. who knows how they make it that cheap and i have never brought from them. Maybe if someone is not worry about being scam could buy one and share some REAL info . Hahaha
as i know Buff can build these ap15202 with gen mvt. Dont know what it cost tho never asked

as non sense other then watches, you guys would be scared of how much real gold with real diamond cartier rep bracelet goes for. These shit are just so cheap on china. You just need the connection to get the best stuff for the cheapest price.

I personally believe that your contribution to the common knowledge of this forum is enormous. Thank you very much. I hope it continues the same way in the future

What’s her asking price? And does she have a physical storefront? I’d be down to visit on my next trip to HK/Asia & do a face-to-face transaction.

Peggy doesn’t seem trustworthy given how she’s handled a few members’ orders shared in this thread so def no chance I’d try a remote transaction with her…

these are some of the photos I got.

Gold case?

Given the price of gold at usd 58 per gram and a case is around 250 grams

That works out to be 250x 58 x 0.75 = 10.8k usd

Quite a substantial mark up

You beat me to it; I was also breaking down the maths. It’s Asia though, it’ll have be a nice negotiation in-person and I’ll see how much of that markup I can knock down.

thanks for sharing. now I understand the need for a crown mod.

This version case i have seen in most gold 3k and very little steel 3k before. But its wrong. If u look closely the crown on it is tugged inside the crown guard. but on wrist level it does look better.

Be aware of who u deal with. Price does matter in cnc gold case. Most cheap ass one have old case version with fat endlink , wrong crown guard. And most importantly the gold color variations. I have seen many cheap version looks like shit. And gold cnc case have very poor polishing on bracelet.
most cnc dealer does not have shop.
Guangzhou is the best place you go for rep.

Its a shame there are no TD that offer a cnc cases. Maybe something for them to consider in the future. Though I am curioius once the replacement hopfully comes between now and next year, Will it be easier or harder to franken a 5711 or 15202. It seems like the guys who want a 15202 franken will just switch to the 16202 as in essence its the same thing just a new dial and movement. The "6711" is panning out to be a bit of a bigger step.
