Just wanted to show some pics... One Franken DRSD and the other two is lightly modded Comments?

I sent JMB a MBK 1680 that Reg sourced and a few Yuki Tudor parts and after a few informative emails on how the build was progressing, here's what I received. It looks and feels incredible and I'm very pleased with how it turned it out. With all the work that was put into it I feel the overall cost was very reasonable and I'm definitely thinking about another. On the left:

Since we're doing rollies today, 1655 for me.

First question What is your budget....? Trusty good but if you are going high there is better reps on SD

I was pulling the gen crystal out of the BK TW and my press cup gave way when pressing the stock TW crystal back on. OUCH !!!!! The press ball came through, smashed the crystal and jammed the hands. (actually the seconds hand gear was damaged...and after I got finished being an expert watchsmith the friggin' mvt. is toast..but I now know a little more.than I did before I started...and I may very well get that A-Clone 2836-2 working with the help of the levers from the keyless works of the TW mvt.....but who knows... Here's my question.... Will the guts from a TC fit into a BK TW ?? I've been planning to drop a SA3135 and gen dial into the TC one day along with the gen bezel assembly....I'm hoping I can just use the TC guts in the TW...but I'm not an expert on this sort of thing. Will it work....and if so what will be involved in doing the transplant ?? Also...regarding the primary topic of this thread......IMHO, the TW is a very good Sub rep...great quality...attention to detail...and built by a master....BK IS INDEED a MASTER.... but comparing cases, no doubt the TC 16610 is a much better case and offers more (and easier) options to build a Super Franken. CG's and crown height are notibly better on the TC. KUDOS to BOTH BK and TC for bringing us the best and then better yet...we DO appreciate ALL you've done for the community. I've never seen a Sean case...but I can't imagine it being any better overall than the TC

I was browsing the dive forum and found this review The writter has pointed out the few spot on flaws(His presumption) on the high end rep and I really doubt of his "presumptuous statement" if he knows what we have here What's your thoughts on his review?
