Mine is at the Spa at the moment. When she is done she will have a new ARF case and Bracelet rebrushed and polished. In addition she has got gen parts added such as MK1 dial, hands, bezel insert, date wheel, crown, titanium caseback, auto wind module and date plate.

Very nice. Which one do you like most. Which do you wear most?

Thanks, the black Classic Franken had first rights lol, I do like how the subtle design changes in the 126660, it wears better. Been going to that one if I want to go blue.
126660 bone stock noob
116660 Blue has prof xtal, spongebob insert, and just dropped vr3135 blue spring with half way decent arf handset I had left over.
116660 Black is in noob v6s case with arf bracelet, gen dial, gen dw, gen Insert. Still on the hunt for gen hands and tube crown maybe a bezel lol.

I prefer the black dial too. Looks more classic Rolex. I wish it was possible to build a 126660 franken.
I would switch in a heartbeat. I am even considering to try and machine the lugs on the 11 to fit a 12 bracelet. That one mm does a world of difference.

Was that brushing done by hand or machine? Cheers

Well, it depends on how you mean.
It's a motor that runs the brushes but the bracelet is held by a hand who applies the pressure and decides for how long and where the brushing is done.

Yes, that´s what I meant... By machine (and hand) or solely by hand without the use or any machine. I´ve seen a few members re-brushing their watches by hand and getting great results (using various grit papers, etc) so I wondered if yours was done that way or with a brushing machine (I think they are called lapping machines?). I really wonder, is it possible to "brush as gen" without the use of the brushing machine and to get the same effect by hand alone.

Thanks for confirming, looks stunning - great build :)
