Very nice. The dial really makes it. It's definitely the weakest point of the rep. The lack of the subdial sunburst on some of the Daytona reps drove me absolutely crazy. Things like that, I can't get over. Drove me to sell one of my older Daytona reps.

Yachtmaster_Chris cant agree more mate,,,
The most important for franken watch is gen dial.
Its the weakest point to tell rep or genuine, so IMO gen dial is a must, its everything,,,

I don't know. I think a Gen set of hands with the right noob or ARF dial can be important

I agree. One could notice a dial being off from across the room. You wouldn't notice the hands until you had it up in to your face.
My thought process is that a lot of the dials now a days are really good. But hands are still pretty shitty. I *personally* have a much harder time remembering what makes our dials "off" from gen, e.g. color of red, spacing, etc. But I can look at a set of Noob hands and tell they aren't genuine just from the pure quality of them. They're rough around the edges and just not as sharp as a gen set.

I have actually seen that in person. It does bug me from time to time. Certain reps will have that really rough, cookie-cutter, stamped out sort of look. It definitely bugs me sometimes, especially when looking at the watch really close.
Of course, if you were lucky enough to get your hands on both a gen dial and gen hands, you'd be golden. :thumbup:
I've got some leftover parts from my frankens that I can actually build a watch with and probably will by the time my noobs are done I've got an ARF case without pushers but can't seems to find a pusher that is thin enough to go through the tiny gap in the tube, anyone have any idea if and how the tube can be removed?
Or if anyone has any spare pushers I'll happily take them!
