I appreciate the kind words, it means a lot to me. I came close to pulling the trigger on the original rotor for an absolute steal on eBay and regret not grabbing it. It ended up selling for something like $270, but it was in rough shape. That being said, I like that my watch differs, if only in that one way.
Be it rep, franken or gen, a watch need to ultimately serve as an extension of the owner, and I do know of fellow gen owners in my circle modding their gen APs to suit their personalities. An example is an owner using a sapphire crystal bezel on his ROO and another converting his watch into a custom 2 tone watch. So as long as the watch feels like a natural extension to you, and you are in harmony with how it looks and feels, all is good.
What a lot of franken owners don't realize, is that there are at least 2 levels of "accuracy" for any franken watch:
i. That it passes peer visual assessment. This will include inspection by friends, fellow enthusiasts both in forums and real life, social media, etc
ii. That it passes as a natural extension of the owner in BOTH looks and feel. This is much more difficult. Having spent money and time to source and purchase gen parts and to put them together, owners often focus on the visual aspects of the watch and want it to appear "as gen as possible" both to others and to themselves. So comes the first phase where the watch is completed and eagerly shown off on the forums, with the new franken owner wanting to show off the watch and hopefully collect compliments and affirmation that his watch now looks 100% gen and perfect. But with the limited availability of the correct parts, what most owners achieve is a build which resemble a gen AP but it nowhere close, if you know where to look. Some owners start their builds with the right expectations and are at peace with that for a long time to come (until they become bored of it like how owners can become bored even with gens). Others, like me, start seeing and feeling the flaws of the franken builds and search for ways and means to make the watch "perfect". This is impossible even if the watch is 100% assembled from gen parts. The truth is, owning and wearing a luxury watch is an experience which begins with the purchase experience at the store and is a feel-good factor pervasive throughout the ownership, and this is something no franken can offer.
But wearing a watch like yours, is almost, if not fully identical to wearing a customized gen and is basically as good as it gets (and it gets very good!) in this hobby and the physical result is nothing short of being stupendous. Honestly this watch of yours deserves a thread and story on its own. I think that it will serve well in the repertoire of any self-respecting gentleman. It just doesn't get any better. Congratulations and well done. You know my standards and hence you will know what I do not offer compliments just to be nice, and when I do, I mean it 100%.
