What version of the 42mm PO to use for a Franken project?

I would say 5th gen aswell, even though the 4th gen has many strong points. As mentioned above the lug shoulders are noticeably thicker, and while it is subtle and would not be noticed on the wrist, it is one of those things that when you've seen it next to gen, you can't get it out of your head (my god the ocd of us rep fans!) 
Still very good either way though, also it must be said even the 5th case has slight difference in shoulder cut to the gen, it is slightly thinner, so goes the opposite way to 4th gen in that regard. Less noticeable though and really looks close.
Tbh, best not to look too closely, this stuff could drive anyone into the institution for deranged rep fans if we did

Nice franken, I can never quite get over those gen case back mods though
Can a gen dial, hands, and ETA 2824 be installed in a PO that came with a 4813? Mine just died on me.
No reason why not that I know of. I've swapped back and forth between 21j and ETA many times.
