What AP Franken(s) do you have in the works?!

[flying-tommy]

A little Christmas is already today.

A beautiful Fantasy Franken with a flawless Swiss DLC coating.
The gorgeous old thin case perfectly finished by Domi.

The watch is a small work of art, which unfortunately does not reflect the full beauty on the photos.

And last but not least a few new parts, which will soon be working in a new Franken.

Maybe it will be a second Christmas present, some parts are still missing.

I actually like the fantasy project.
Usual alignment issues between parts for AP frankens but it’s a nice watch!
What movement are you using for the safari? Gen 3126 movement? I’m really looking forward.

What’s the issue? Looks good to me.

 

[flying-tommy]

Maybe the 3126 is the next step but actually no Movement available in a normal price range.


The prices are abnormally high. Up to the half of the Gen Watch it is still ok for me personally, but if it goes direction 10.000 €, one can think slowly of a gene.
But it’s my personal statement.

Flying tommy I think my observation about your piece was wrong, the alignment looked off to me at first due to the angle. I realized it’s a non issue when I looked properly lol. Pardon me.

I am looking forward to your safari build for sure!

Looks really nice T! Is that the Marcus edition minus the white chrono pushers and the crown and caseback?

Random question:
Does anybody know where to source a 42mm AP closed caseback in steel?
Thanks!

I just saw a sale buzz on this in the Parts section but I can’t remember who the member unfortunately as I was surfing between forums

regret to inform you..

I have other parts but not a caseback

 

[TYL88]

Found it! Thanks guys!

 

[flying-tommy]

If someone has an “old” ROO Caseback I would take it also. Could only source an Diver Caseback.

Thanks

Finally got the correct black lume mix after many trials:

Somebody wanted me to re-tube gen Diver hands for fitting on the P80, so I did. Subtle finishing touches that take alot of skill/time/equipment seem to be highly desired by members here lately. Pre-final-clean-up close-up:
