Post your franken Daytona’s and spec

[Kaloc]

Yes, 78590 Bracelet. Lets see how it will fit the noob case tho ...

Is this gen? Mind sharing where you got this?

Gen

Got it from a seller in Italy but you can find a few on Chrono24 aswell

What about bezel? Is worth to buy gen or ARF is good enough?

I have an old JF ss bezel which is actually pretty good !

 

[TYL88]

Spatiumtemporis U mind posting pics of the JF ss bezel bro? Thanks!

 

[Spatiumtemporis]

Just got my hands on a JF case thanks to Beoman69 .

This is by far the best Daytona case out there in terms of geometry. I've also tested it and the sa4130 fits right in.

There is still a lot of work to be done, like modding the cgs, rehaut height and stem position. Lugs need a bit of attention as well, but once I'm done this will be an amazing franken.

Very excited about this project. Jf dial looks pretty good as well! I will swap the coronet on this dial with a Gen or noob one just for fun.

nearest td bank atm to me

This is the JF bezel TYL88

What about my ARF bezel? What do you think gentleman ?

 

[Nur-Uhr]

clockwork your ARF is looking really good.
I use also the ARF parts for my 116520 build. Parts are on the way (hopefully)

JF bezel is great also the “old“ Noob bezels frpm the fake Chron versions was good.

 

[clockwork]

Thanks
Base is a Noob and Dial hands and crystal are gen so I was thinking about the bezel upgrade, but now I will save the money for other projects

Thank for the feedback

I think arf bezel looks great, but if you go with a gen crystal I would 100% get a gen bezel also...

Here an old modded Noob bezel Domi had on his franken Daytona ( rep bezel on top ) :

I think it looks very good compared to the Gen Bezel...but you can still see the difference ( Gen bezel is more flat and 2.5mm thick - Rep bezel is more curved and also fatter, even tho Domi slimmed the bezel down ) :

And that was my problem with the rep bezel on gen crytsal. From the profile it doesn't look right .. Here a pic of my white Daytona with rep bezel compared to gen bezel :

Rep bezel messes up the crystal height -

So if you can get a gen bezel, spend the extra bucks if you ask me

Mr.Marbella what do you think on that bezel and gen crystal with reshaped case?

Final question, it is worth gen bezel or not?

Im by NO means an expert, but I personally think a Gen Bezel is worth it...Like Guru said, Cant beat Gen parts.

Its shaped different than gen and when you have 2 franken Daytonas side by side you can see the difference

Your crystal looks good to me tho... At the end of the day, if the watch makes you happy who cares if the bezel is rep or gen ?

Spatiumtemporis Thanks for the pics! They look really good!
clockwork is that the arf V1 or the V2 bezel? The engravings looked very thick, is that how the gen supposed to be?

 

[TYL88]

Mr.Marbella i suppose the black dial daytona is the one with the old noob bezel? The engravings size look spot on IMO.

No, white dial was the one with the rep bezel

- EDIT On first 2 Pics I had the Gen bezel on the white dial Daytona, when comparing it with black it had the rep bezel.

Black always had gen bezel

 

[TYL88]

Mr.Marbella Thank you bro! Cant wait till it arrive

 

[Ms92]

Mr.Marbella what do you think on that bezel and gen crystal with reshaped case?
