Hello RWI,
a few members already know about this project I started over a year ago with the idea of making a perfect Franken CrPo. This was when Andrew and Josh first launched the BP model.
But there where to many flaws and gen parts where not available at this time. So a long wait for a update of the rep base watch began.
then came the updated BP 45 Ti and I bought it to find out the insert was made from aluminum. Crap! And to find a gen for the Ti version is impossible and if available in the 1000$ range.
So I sold that one.
then came the Noob and this is where the good things start. It's a good enough base for my Franken.
Also I have the exceptional luck to find the only existing lose omega 8500 movement. (In mint condition, one heavily water damaged was sold on eBay also.)
Here we have a teaser pic of some parts:
more pics will coming and comparing rep and gen parts.
Also I'm on my iPhone for a few days as my computer died on me. So I'm having little trouble to upload and manage pictures. Be patient
Cheers
Santre
