Nice. I've got the same myself, gen hands, 116520 black dial, crystal, noob v2 black on its way as well. Are you adding a gen bezel? crown? I'm unsure yet but thinking the bezel will add to the build a lot.
Inspired byMicasol I had my 116519LN modded with red subdial hands, an ARF bezel and a racing leather strap with red stitching.
Sorry for some dusk on the pictures.
Beautiful bro, congrats

Is it Gen bezel?
Any factory make a decent aftermarket racing bezel?

Have decide to go deeper on genestein build of my franken with rainbow dial,
First swapped subdials hands by others gen in black
Now I see better hands on subdials, especially when sun shine
After have genestein the movement itself, was still have gen mainspring and barrel, setting level, auto wind module and chrono bridge, hairspring, but now 95% perhaps 97% is gen
So all the setting level gen
All the wheels of train wheels
Anchor and it’s bridge gen
Train wheels bridge gen
Chrono clutch gen
All chrono wheels gen
Setting level for minutes gen
In fact the chrono wheels and components are gen
What’s not gen, some of the screws, arms of the chronos
Have forget have changed the stem and crown by gen too, and pictures of some of the rep movement parts
Now I am happy with,

Understand why, but this dial is a nightmare to adjust in the case as it’s more fat than stock gen 116520 or steel model dials.
Those dials normally goes to precious case which are more fat than steel case, so had to polished it on back plate to reduce the fatness and adjust it perfectly in a steel case.
But really awesome dial, and in real very much amazing and beautiful than in pics, with the black subdials hands it’s now perfect.
The hours and minutes hands are gen too but the slim ones, which are imo perfect for this dial.
I had thought to swapped the gen seconds chrono hands by a black one, but will it be too much black.
But the for me the most beautiful is the movement, really whoWww, I like looking at it and at the gen hairspring running. Thanks noob to have build this clone, you could fit in all the gen parts, it’s one to one.

Lovely build. Personally I think the ice blue dial with diamond hour markers is the best dial Rolex make, but this is still lovely.

This looks so amazing, much better than the current gen options.
