Justasgood

Wait till I post my pics.....great minds is all I'm sayin'

Any Franken built by the Master Ubi shall be referred to as "The end all, beat all InFinite Franken" Quantum calculations and Infinite Mathmatics prove that only Ubi can bring more quality to any build......'tis immeasurable, and never ending.

A set of Tudor hands should work. Ebay has a plethora available.

TeeJay, Sorry you have had a bad week. Here's to putting it behind you and having a great weekend....

Just waiting on a couple more parts... Completion is in sight... Perhaps you can use these old things.... Somebody needs to give you a "HAND(s)"

Going retro before I ship this one down to my brother in New Orleans:

Staying warm: While patiently waiting to turn this ugly duckling into a swan:

Great pic. Out kicked your coverage too huh?

Love that Ebel 1911. One of the classiest and comfortable watches ever made.

Wearing this one on my favorite day....

Awesome Flex. Pm on the way.

Thanks Chi, let me know what you need from me

email your info to: kurts@payrollrx.com Happy to help.

I didn't ask for any of that. Send me your address. Being a part of this community is payment enough.

I have a complete Gen. Bridge and rotor. Send me your address and perhaps that will buy you some time. You are still gonna need to get a service

I think the MBW have the proper Curve to them.

Sounds like a "Reverser wheels" issue. Couldn't know without having the movement on me desk. A service should clear it up.

According to Ubi, and who I am to question the master, I need a set of MBW 1680 or MBW 1665 hands.

Perfect. But I think that set is for a GMT complication watch (4 hands). My watch only needs 3 hands

A few more phone pics:

O.k., Guys, check your parts box for a set of MBW hands.

Thanks R! What hands should I get? I am sure that Yuki's are for the Gen movement and I need a set for ETA. Perhaps just a cheap *bay set?

I am looking for a cheap 19mm bracelet for my project: I have the above Gen Oyster perpetual Ref #1002 case set. Gen crown, tube and crystal. Saving up for an Explorer Precision dial and hands ala Ubi's example. So if anyone has a 19mm oyster bracelet, please let me know. Thanks, Kurt.

Great post, thanks for sharing your story. My thinking has always been that I enjoy the "Look" and function of a watch, not a name on the dial. I owned the watches because of the sum of all the parts. The finishes, the size, the colors....whatever struck me about the overall design. Would I pay the kind of $$$ being asked for new and vintage watches? Hell no. Do I have a problem wearing a rep either stock or modded? Hell no. I don't hide my watches. I have worn them into AD's, in suits, at the gym, family dinners. They are watches. Never tried to pass one off as real and in fact, I love having conversations with gen owners who are clue-less about the quality and accuracy of today's reps. Many Gen. owners ask if I can source watches for them. I rarely do, unless they are very good friends of mine. Strip away the printing on the dials and what you are left with is a choice based on Appeal, design, color and function. As always, reps are "Justasgood". Is it a gen? Yep, it is a genuine watch
