Cheers to all fellow american members today! Red, white and blue for me 4th of July

Had my 1680 white changed to a single red and got the watch serviced and regulated by Domi. He also did the lume job on the dial and hands . Have a nice day Cats Send with Sony Experia Z using Tapatalk Pro

Happy 4th of July to my American friends

"ROlex, we are programmed to receive" I'd say

Ogladio, great minds think alike... Happy 4th!

Perfect for today. Mine is almost done.....few more weeks. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.

""Such a lovely place... This could be Heaven or this could be Hell. We are all just prisoners here, of our own device. Relax, we are programmed to receive. You can check-out any time you like. But you can never leave!" :D" So true..................................

Looks great but this is pure adulturated madness you know ! We need to see this on your hand, preferely on the one spoting an AP watch as well

Thats insane! Will you make some to sell it?

Pulled this out of the back of the watch box, nothing like revisiting a forgotten about favorite...

The process of modifying the watch is very gratifying in itself. For most, a "Franken" is not about getting it to be more like gen and saving a little money in the process, it's about the journey. To create a franken you must gen parts that are often difficult to come by, sometimes you need to modify parts of the rep case to make the gen crown fit or that gen bracelet. You've got to figure out how to attach the gen dial to the A2836 movement because the dial feet are in the wrong spot. Like you mentioned, you need a steady hand, a little know-how, and a lot of determination. At the end of the day you have a watch that means more to you than any rep or even any gen, this new watch is now a part of you! I hope this helps.

Just noticing that this post is from 2006, and now we are in 2013. Is an update required? I am curious what the current Breitling rep situation is all about. I do like this writeup, just think we might be due another by an experienced member.
