Does this qualify as franken?? Stock Noob + GEN Oysterflex strap (the noob strap is close, but gen feels better).

 

[Maron]

Noob 4130
Gen movement dial hands crown and tube
Arf bracelet and bezel
Various gen movement parts added
Have a gen clutch sitting in a drawer that’s going in at some point
Very satisfying build. Carmel Rolex AD couldn’t keep his hands off

Now this is amazing! I would not be surprised at all but what I understood is that your build is so GEN-like that the staff at the Rolex AD in Carmel were completely fooled when they handled it!?

Your dial is not v1 or v2, its the latest batch which is THE BEST 116500 dial. the sub dial is almost 100% gen thickness. V1 is way thinner , v2 has wrong font .
I have your exect same build on arf base. Too bad the my gen hands already fixed fitted on. Or else i will upgrade this new dial .

Sorry, are you saying that there's a new third batch of ARF with new subdial fonts?

Bought yesterday the noob 4130 will used for my new Franken build, the new 116519LN, will be perfect, will fit in 116509 gen hands, the one with red subdials and seconds chrono hands, with gen crystal and all gaskets, will be a beauty.

Stunning! really love the 116519 panda dial
Did you do anything to your sel? Mine also has arf bracelt mounted but it is flushed with the lugs not recessed like yours.
Also it is about the same length with the end of the lug.

Yours looks great.

Thanks

No sir no sel mods mounted as shown

I see many franken Daytona’s here and there, could help to post them here with specifications.

116500
Noob SA4130 base V2
Gen crystal and gaskets
Gen hands
Gen barrel and mainspring
Case shaped on lugs and left side case
Arf claps, dial, bezel, V2
Band brushed like gen is
Movements fully serviced with also gen auto wind module and the gen 4130 upper bridge

116515 individual build
Noob SA4130 base
Gen crystal and gaskets all
Gen hands set
Gen mainspring
Movement fully serviced
Aftermarket dial with gen saphirs index
Gen rubber B strap
Aftermarket brown ceramic bezel, same size gen

Difficulties on build?
On the 116515 none, all fit in perfectly, even gen hands
On the 116500, a nightmare on gen hands to fit in, need to mod them a little, the subdials ones, 2 of them and the seconds chrono hands too,
Shaved the ARF dial was easy, just have to go carefully and slowly.
On both need to shaved the outside gen crystal gasket, they fit for steel bezel and not ceramic ones, 0,2 mm to fat, I braked one ceramic bezel before understand!!!

Servicing done by my watchmaker, Harleysta91, who made a very good job, one was over oiled and the other not too bad at all but on both metallic parts and graphite dust, so IMHO servicing is a must do.
WAfter servicing, used them one month and after return to my watchmaker to check all run as have to.

How does the dial look like in real life, i was on the edge of purchasing the watch but i was not sure of how accurate the gems would look
