Nice job with your SMP. I've had a few of these but Gen, currently wear a black one (photo below). Most people with those specs and cash invested will go nuts to get it as period correct as possible. I admire that your project was all about getting it the way YOU wanted it. Wear her in good health brother.

Something's not lining up, Canadian customs won't review a parcel until it gets to Canadian Boarder Patrol. So it usually needs to get to either BC, Ontario or Quebec before it gets rejected. Are you saying it's not even leaving China? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some more iPhone 5s photos for the entourage!

Your absolutely right. The 4 tick subdial is accurate. Predominantly on the steel bezel model. Mine: Some more examples... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys, picked up this Hublot v6.5 with upgraded Mikey Ti screws set from a good member on the RG forum. My brief observations: Flawless colourless xtal and a well worn gummy. Nice and smooth. Really makes me think twice about swapping it to a Donerix strap. And gen for comparison Checklist: -Colourless AR - chek -Ti screws - chek -4 tick subdial @ 6 o'clock - chek -Smooth outter bezel rim - chek -Movement engravings - chek -Recessed date disc - chek And two details I was surprised to see are: 1. Brushed hands and hour indexes - chek Rep... 2. Textured subdial! - chek Rep... Gen...for comparison... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. She's certainly a looker and never gets old. To Panerai's point yes the GMT is very functional. I live on Toronto and I find being able to track pacific time very useful having so many clients there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here are some photos with the black insert installed. I personally prefer the Pepsi, but the black is more in keeping with the signature "Submariner" look.

Hey guys, Took a look at my rep collection over the last few months and realized I had a good chunk of change invested. Decided to sell some and invest the funds in a super franken build. Shortly after completing it (the super franken build) I had a change of heart and sold it off like the others. Spent the funds on this bad boy. It came with EVERYTHING including a brand new black insert and 4 more months of ROLEX warranty as well. Enjoy!

For those that asked, I have my super franken up for sale on RWI! http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=204794 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What the hell how are we supposed to compete against that? It's gen lmao Mike looks amazing, I bow to you brother!

Thanks bro! Lol genuine cal. 3135 gentleman.... [emoji41]

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. Mike, finders keepers! I've actually already bought a WSO bracelet again. I'm gonna put her back on a 100% solid 18k gold bracelet again.

Thanks guys, glad you like her. She certainly is one of a kind.

Thanks for the awesome feedback guys. She finally came home yesterday and hasn't left my wrist. Enjoy the photos! image upload no limit

Ezio, I personally wasn't a fan of the clear caseback myself. I'm only trying this out to visually see the money I put in her. I may go back to standard spec caseback. Im sure the novelty will wear off...Unfortunately a watch isn't like a car. You cant hear and feel the money you put under the hood.

Thanks guys, yeah she's certainly an impressive build. Once she comes home (which is hopefully mid next week) I'll post some more photos. I give all the credit to Mike, he actually put the entire watch together. Guys don't be scared about the costs, if you wheel and deal the parts and take your time, your build can come in at less than half the gen cost. Ceo and Rudy will tell you the same.

Hey guys, Over the past few weeks I toyed with the notion of upgrading some of the stock Yuki part to gen cal. 3135. With such a special build, who not try and add some "reliability" and "quality" to a long term investment. Anyway, after shipping my baby off to Mike the opportunity to get my hands on a gen cal. 3135 presented itself and I went for it! I was going to hold off until she came home but couldn't wait. I present to you my updated franken 16613 now running on a freshly built cal. 3135. In addition, I had Mike install a Thomas Preik sapphire caseback so that everyone else could celebrate and share in the pride of this spectacular masterpiece of a movement. Current specs as follows: -TC v6 mid case -WM9 bracelet -WSO bezel (ST friction washer) -Thomas Preik caseback -Gen "SWISS MADE" dial -Gen hands -Gen date disc -Gen crown/ tube -Gen crystal -Gen cal. 3135 movement I was surprised to see a weight REDUCTION after installing the gen movement and sapphire caseback

AS REQUESTED...

Thanks Mike! The bracelet was a mission to find but a good friend hooked me up.

Some more photos for you guys...enjoy My watch prior to sourcing a bracelet... My watch after I obtained the hollow end link WSO bracelet (wore it on here for about 2 weeks before finding my WM9 bracelet) Watch on genuine blue Everest strap - I have the strap for sale if anyone is interested! Thanks for the positive feedback guys! She's a special one.

Hey guys, I'm gonna make it short and sweet. Made some refinements to my Yuki 16613 Super Franken. I can confidently say she is done aesthetically (and period correct finally).
