Pam 341 47mm on Heroic 18 Strap Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

I have been looking for a Gen blue dial for a sweet Franken 116000/34 Oyster Perpetual No-Date 36mm but they are rare. I found a silver gen dial for $350 but really wanted a blue dial plus my budget was $250. Some where in the process i decided to give it a rest and I acquired a tritium 14270 T<25 dial....I guess I settle for less..maybe? I still wasnt satisfied so i sat on this dial for a few months. Few weeks a ago i decided to start my search again and guess what i found a 28mm dial for a vintage Oyster Perpetual No-Date 36mm. Until that point I never knew Oyster Perpetuals came in 36mm before year 2000. Ofcourse I bought the dial and then furthered my research. Come to find out it was a ref. 1018 i have been trying to discover. Ref 1018 wasnt too popular vs Ref 1016 with very similar DNA. I found a hand full of pics for SS but none for TT or 14k capped /FG model. I read in a few threads on VRF & TRF that mentioned rolex did make them in TT & 14k FG. I also found out in my rolex parts ibook the parts specs...T21 plexi & 5.3mm crown(unlike 1016 with 6mm). After all the research, I think I will be very satisfied with building one vs my original intended Franken 116000/34 Below is the list of the proposed parts Gen gold 1018 (pictured below) Gen SS 5.3mm crown JMB bezel for T21 JMB 1016 v2 case with 1018 engraving Felsa 4007n Movement Gold dauphine replacement hands for Titoni ETA 28XX watch (pictured below) Custom vintage suede strap with Gen 16mm rolex buckle Rivet bracelet
