Yes, this really used to get my goat. To the point where i didn't even bother looking at threads with the franken tag unless it was from the usual suspects ( like automatico).
My franken journey always begins with the gen dial, for it is the window to the soul. A watch with merely a gen dial might be considered a franken lite, but a watch without one wouldn't even qualify as one to me. No offence to anyone, it's just my idiosyncrasy. The watch could be rocking a gen movement, and a gen case, but should the dial not be gen, the most obvious flaws would be nagging at me all day
