Awesome! Glad it made it back safely and that the build is finally complete. Btw, based on the parts we had to work with, it's pretty much all Swiss, excluding the seconds wheel which was needed for the longer stem.
Finally received my Super Franken.
Gen dial, Hands, Crown/tube, Caseback, Gaskets, Clasp, links, Datewheel, Movement Holder..
Rep endlinks right now, as well as rep bezel, insert and crystal as they all are as good enough and don't warrant spending the extra money right now.
Strodda built a 2892-A2 movement for me using parts from a clone, a gen omega movement and parts from a Swiss ETA. It's the best time keeping watch in my collection and absolutely the smoothest to wind. Strodda's work is impeccable and I wouldn't hesitate to have him work my watches in the future.

Whelp, I think my builds finished.. Finally for the crown in today! Damn you customs for making wait forever..
And I also scored a killer deal on another bezel. So here's before:
And here's it now complete:
Gen everything, except case and He valve/position. That's a little out of my undertaking for this project. So, I cracked open a beer to celebrate. Only issue I have is the damn date not 100% aligned..

I have always liked this one first time I saw it I looked for one on the Bay, not really my style but it really looks good, I'm not a TT type but this is really special
I do not wear it very often but this is definitely a special one. It is a bit too dressy for casual or daily wear.

These things are hard to depict their color without the perfect lighting!
Yep you nailed it in your photo. I will hopefully get a sunny day tomorrow. But chances are I will not be wearing it tomorrow.
