I know he still deals with some people on the forums....

I'm letting all forum members know as well as the paneristi sits that he posts on. He traded me what was suppose to be a gen 27a dial and turns out to be a DSN dial. Over the past 2 months he has been telling me he was going to make things right and then all of a sudden silence.. Does not answer emails or his phone.

Nice, I've heard this but thanks for confirming this. Now indeed to source one.

Man, with all of the members all I need is one to show up....

Thanks for the update as these are rare then hens teeth..... i know someone is sitting on one that they are willing to part with. Its the last piece to the puzzle but i refuse to do anything with the build until i have the correct date wheel in hand. Thanks Again.

Hey I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction as I know that there have been several different people that have made the correct date wheels for the 2893 GMT for the Panerai 63/29/23 to name a few. I know that Taka also was making some however he has closed shop or is no longer making them. Any other suggestions on where I can find a date wheel for my 23a project? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks B

Thanks Alex it was the Daytona sale to you that allowed me to buy these parts, hope the Daytona is treating you well!!! Wear it in good health M8!

Yeah, haven't built any note able pam projects in a while..I think it's about time.

Had these parts sitting in my parts bin for a little over a year now perhaps its time to start some project... Look at the pantia on the 27a... simply beautiful.......

Thanks guys I'm using safari and the methods you mentioned worked perfectly. Thanks again for the help.

I looked in the general discussion area when I'm on my iPad I cannot send a pm reply to other members as I cannot see the reply box. Any help on this is greatly appreciated. B

Lost my VIP

Welcome read read and then do some more reading you will find a lot of information

No it looks horrible I think you should give me the strap......... J/k. Strap/watch combo looks great... Wear it well G

Thank you Sir!!!!!!

the quickest solution would be to sell it to me.......

Hour wheel and pinion

Yes be sure to get the additional parts....... I know he has them

Been looking on the bay daily and I have not seen anyam I missing something? Just picked up the Swiss 7753 version and now I need a strap....

I agree with all franken's it's the amount you are willing to spend to get the watch you desire. Price and parts availability always factor in how far a person can take this hobby. I have found the longer the person has collected reps the more knowledge they are around cost and what they are getting themselves into. Often times people want to sign up however they don't want to make the investment.

Curious what did the oem strap cost?

Are you serious ........... You would think that I would sell you a fake franken? Wow........ My friend as the replies speak for them selves this is all gen with the exception of movement and case back......

soon mine will look just like that one..... i cannot wait...

Sander, that's awesome and I cannot wait for my franken to be completed from my watchsmith, so i can join the club.

Just curious how many people want to build a franken ap? Im talking case mods, correct crown, caseback shaved, LWO283 movement used, so a gen dial and tacky can be installed.
