Yet Another PO 5th gen Franken

- Start date
I installed the bezel insert today. Of course it's not a gen but I think it looks fine for now.
Nice. I presume wholesaleoutlet990? They make a good insert but the pearl is a let down. I am researching with another member whether or not they are modifiable.
I found out that the movement bought as A2836 is actually a A2824-2. Not that it's bad thing I was just curious about what movement they really used.
I noticed that with recently departed lm po.

Yes it's from WSO. What do you think is possible to mod (maybe chance the pearl)? I used sandpaper to get pearl's lumen in a rounder shape.

^The pearl pops right out with enough pressure. I bought a bezel insert from wholesaleoutlet and replaced the pearl with the one that came with my V5 PO (I think was originally from PureTime). I prefer that pearl because it sits flush with the insert and looks more like the original. The tall, rounded, yellowish pearl that comes on the wholesaleoutlet inserts is a shame.
I think your results may vary though, based on the size of the pearl you are working with, as there seems to be some variability in exact pearl diameter among the PO reps.

I have waited a very long time for this watch but today it finally arrived. :woohoo:

Very nice. I assume that's a gen insert also? Definitely not the WSO you showed earlier, is it?
You ought to look at the Hirsch straps with the molded end links. They fit and look much better.
