Gen insert incoming thanks to @matt2302 . Until then this one looks okay in some light. But in other light it's just too blue.

Trust me a gently used gen insert is going to transform your watch to a very credible franken. For me the bezel is always one of the first mods I do on any franken as it's such a large surface area of the watch. Closely followed by dial.

According to the dealer website it's a BP.

The overall quality of the watch is so / so.

Two markers are misaligned and the pearl is as well.

I already saw it in the QC pics but since that's an easy fix, I accepted.

Back and forth on if I should let this one go or not.
Love it but it rarely gets wrist time now that I've got so many other pieces.

Hahaha!
Don't do it! It deserves to be cherished. Maybe put it behind glass and just let him look at it & not abuse it. Lol! Jk!
Congrats to him on a cool piece
