Where I need to be.


Audemars Piguet 25594ST MK1 Franken
All gen parts except for the CNC caseset with 18k white gold screws.
All parts are period correct for an early example of this reference.
@legend build
This watch wasn’t easy to build as the rep case was non existent and like you mentioned the period correctness is a factor so that dial, case, bracelet and hands would match. Thank you for the trust and patience @Baron Rees it is always a pleasure working with a gentleman like you sir. I wish you and your loved ones a merry Christmas.

All gen except for the bezel and datewheel. At some point I'll need to swap out the bezel for gen because I guess the way the crystal sits in the rep bezel is messing with the water resistance.

Brodie, you will need a gen crystal with the gen bezel. The gen crystal has a slight dome on the inside that provides clearance for the hands.
Sach.

Sorry, I should have added that the crystal in there right now isn't gen. I have the gen crystal but it doesn't fit the rep bezel.

I actually tried using the bezel from a 5402, which fit the crystal and the case but not the heads of the bezel screws.
