well I get it where you guys are coming from but I already have most of the gen parts I have been collecting over the years and I already got a dial. If it were me saving for a gen that money would have taken off somewhere else.
All I have to say is I am EMBARRASSED! I just bought a sean case from a local member and I never quite realized how bad my franken TW was till I saw this bad boy up close and personal! Here is what I noticed immediately flawed on my TW. the case is WAY to fat and clearly needs a diet plan where as the sean case is nice and thin all around with a great appearance over all. Crown on the TW sits way low and now looks very awkward compared to how dead center the sean case is. bezel is completely off on my TW. the teeth are not nearly as defined and seems a little thinner? Also a huge dislike on my TW is the "original rolex desing" so that is my little rant on the TW now that I own the sean case all I can say is I can not wait to fire up this bad boy into a super rep that no one can tell unless I tell them here is my grocery list for my super rolex build coming up soon:
Sean case
gen bezel
gen crown
gen insert
gen crystal w/ AR
gen dial
gen bracelet
gen case back
TW clasp or WM9
the new SA3135 improved version
I have most of the parts all I mainly need is that new movement to launch so I can wrap this up and toss that TW in the parts bin.
I'd love to know I owned a noob sub briefly and it was superb in quality...I'd say its definitely a great beater everyday watch if you can handle poor pearl right off the bat and other minor flaws
You can not go wrong with a PAM 111. just so amazing out of the box. I recently handled a gen compared to mine and the only thing that went through my head was WOW I REALLY saved a huge amount of money letting the guys in china do their thing! no difference what so ever to the naked eye.
I am so ready to toss my BK over my shoulders and strap on a TC with gen AR crstal, insert, crown, tube, and get that new SEL bracelet when it comes and slap my gen dial in there and BAM super super sub all day
If anyone wants a super franken PM me I have one I have not put on the sales section yet. gen case gen crown and tube, gen dial re-done, ETA 2836-2 head only
Very interesting comments...big watches looks like that's the thing to wear if your seeking attention! Maybe when Rolex is nice enough to launch there new deepsea that james Cameron will be taking to the bottom Rolex will get that same reaction everyday that my Pam has been getting lol
Well I always thought a Rolex was the best way to go for people to notice and appreciate your watch as much as you do. Wrong I was! I recently acquired a panerai 111N and this baby gets atleast 5 compliments a day! My Rolex sub maybe will get that in a week if I am lucky! Anyways share your opinions here!
