great shots Gran...the AP ROO Diver is such a winner! A must in everyone's collection!

Another brilliant and beautiful franken...first one I've seen. I remember when one of the 'risit was so pissed that he didn't get offered a chance to buy one, that he damn near sold off his entire collection (a shit load if I remember correctly) to get one....i think it was J-F wear it in good health!

Me neither...but anything that says OP on it will get the 'risit falling all over themselves to buy one... I will sit back and wait for reduced price version available here...

Just brilliant and another fantastic build by one of best franken builders on the boards.

Nice pair! Miss my old EL 29 with gen movement and HONPO 27 with gen movement... ...one day

Just brilliant! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Love it! White straps on the ROOs are fly....

I'm getting moist.... These are just fantastic!

but i thought "plexy is sexy"....or is that another cheezy 'risti slogan that I forgot to have made into a bumper sticker, signature banner, keychain, t-shirt coffee mug...oh shit I went off on a tangent... Anyway.... Love, love, love both these watches but would prefer sapphire any day to the "plastic" fake vintage hype of plexy these 47mm beasts are GOING to get dinged up a lot for sure. Thanks for sharing the 372 and 422 with us!

nice job! command D

I guess I'm "too female" then... Both the 188 and 113 are excellent white dial PAMs. As are pretty much all white dialed watches... I don't think they are female at all. Would you pass on the White dialed daytona? Or is that "female" too? I don't get where the 113 is more "female"... Mate, wear what you like but if you "feel" it is female, then by all means--don't. IDGAF what others think about my pink shirts, white loafers, or white strapped watches....I wear what I like. Period. I used to own the gen 113 and wore the shit out of it until something else caught my eye. So it got sold off. Hell, even had a gen dial franken 113 and that got flipped later...(yes, i have a problem) Also had the older swiss 7753 188 rep years back but that was "lost" somewhere on its way to a member in dubai... ALE on RWI has put together another "fabulous" (over used 'female' word) review on the Gen vs Rep 188. Looks to be a decent rep. I plan on adding it back to the collection very soon.

Damn enablers!!! The 88 rep looks great! Having owned the gen 88 in the past, I really miss it sometimes even though it always gave me fits on strap selection as the different colored sub dial just never looked right with the straps in my collection. The brown OEM honey croc looks right! That ghost 237 looks really good too! Would the a gen swiss 2893 movement fit these reps?

HAHA.... thanks for the laugh!

I would love to have that cut out display model. I'd fill it up with jellybellys for the kids...

Nice collection. Rainer's boxes are not made in Germany. They are made in Asia.

I just wet myself... Superb! Bravo! Love, love, love, love them! PayPal on the way with my shipping address to follow! ;-)

Yes, and stupid is right as I have gone "full retard" and picked up the SE box, paps, stickers, scroll for the 36....I am sending out "voodoo jedi mind waves" to FGD to sell me his 82 SE box set... Here is a pic of it next to a franken gen dial 89 that I got from (cue angelic, heavenly choral music) W0lf :notworthy: The color differences are really striking. And damn, I just noticed how much my pictures suck. Thanks a lot! but when I hear the word "pair", these often come to mind

Very nice!

Brilliant...fantastic post!!! Thanks so much for your efforts!

Thanks mate! Still some more work to do on them but am enjoying them now for the moment. thanks...um, any chance you would part with that SE box! ...I didn't think so! Nice pickup and good luck on the hunt for it as that has been half the fun. Shit...forgot that one ....but am hoping to get that changed very soon! Surprised at that...thought there would be a few more out there as W0lf has a 36 franken and Cubeistan's T dial 36 franken. Maybe some 82s are still out there to be had.

@cougar Looks really, really good and now you got me on the fence as I've really wanted one. May I ask where you sourced it from or are all the dealers getting them from the same factory? cheers

I just picked up a very nice Hermes rep belt from Sead. I haven't tried KB's yet but his website looks really good.
