My franken 16613 misiekped build with yuki 3135 movement including few gen movement parts, TC case, gen dial, gen insert, gen hands, gen dwo, gen crown, gen crystal, ST 18K bezel.

This build was in my safe for over 4 years until today. I didnt wear it bc of bracelet.

I just dont like the bracelet, few links are faded off i dont know if it can be fixed. Got it from a member here, he mentioned that this is a WM9/TC prototype bracelet.

I'm looking for a better bracelet, a fine wrapped one.

Or even a gen one, if anybody have gen 93253 bracelet for sale, i can buy it.

Wonderful build! The new bracelet will be an interesting journey. When I built my TC I used a WM9 bracelet.

Great watch. Perfect.

I used for my TC based 16613 build (but my build is a tritium build with drilled lug holes) a Startime StainlessSteel/SolidGold bracelet with a GEN old-style 93153 clasp.
Afterwards I got a GEN bracelet, I do not use now, cause the Startime is "better" cause new

GEN bracelets are really rare to find the last years.
Bluesy builds are timeless pieces.

Extra bits comes together nicely… might actually keep this one! Need a different insert though!

With the unavailability of other factories, would BP be a good for a start with some potential for future modding? Does it accept gen parts? Any major flaws? Still haven't decided do I want the "plain" blue or serti dial.

I found a product named Connoisseurs Ultrasoft Jewelry Polishing Cloth for Gold, tried on this bracelet, and it seems to be solved that issue, here is before & after. But still i'll replace with a real 18K bracelet whenever i can.

Just rebuilt this Franken. Well, almost. Transplanted it all from a damaged JF case into an ARF case, shaped by trip. As usual it’s not all been sweetness and light - I’ve burgered the bezel operation… it’s now bi-directional and virtually clickless. It was very tough to remove, and proved impossible to get back on (I think the plating has added just a shade too much thickness). So eventually I went for the nuclear option and used the crystal press to force it on. It’s on, but not working nicely like it did.

Ah well… Another lesson learned, and another mini project in prospect…

Found a gen 93253 bracelet and added to build

 

[RX7GP]

Btw, I was unfair with WM9, its almost close to gen color and look. Not so far away from that. I'm adding few comparison pics, gen on left.

 

[RX7GP]
