legend slaughterer62 take a step back and take a breather. this back and forth would just continue into 2020 and detrimental to the AP section and community as a whole.
i don't think SHB had the intention to push legend's work and those long detailed reviews with caliper measurements are from a bygone era. the only member doing such things is flying-tommy and a few others. the Daytona1984 and tosoboso type reviews are from pre-2018 when there was less scrutiny and everyone pushed to mod their watches like gen. i have been here long enough to declare many those members have left for greener pastures or lurk due to the toxic atmosphere over the last few years.
i can see why vetted watch modders like dmuit slaughterer62 r vaccum Strodda can get p!55ed seeing these backdoor modder reviews. Like what is the purpose to go through the SV and trusted modder vetting process? i can claim to do the 'silent rotor mod' and take member watches for $50 and just use anal lubricant. who can say i didn't use mobius oils?
backdoor modding can not be moderated and all based on trust. i don't see how you can regulate against people posting reviews. the truth is legend DOES point out a lot of the flaws on frankens and this indirectly hurt those that build the AP frankens. slaughterer62 asking SHB such detailed questions will always offend legend and the saying 'what goes around comes around' rings true here.
i can say much more but hold my tongue. it does not help.
this is the type of toxic nonsense i read that pulls this AP section down. THIS IS A REP FORUM FFS.
ALL reps imitate a genuine watch. Go to any TD website and they claim 'Best Super edition made from breakdown genuine watch. 1:1. it would be super boring for members to post "the gen does not use a 7750/2824/2836/miyota 9015" every time some one post a picture.
Lets get away from this nonsense in 2020 and bring back the atmospehere pre-2018!

The ultimate purpose why guys build AP frankens is to emulate the gen, vs creating a custom build. So there is a definitive benchmark of comparison, and that benchmark should be the gen counterpart, as opposed to how much it is better than the A7750 sec@12 stock watch.
