I will probably try and mod the case to seat the Xtal better and then send it to prof for his magic. May be force be with you guys.

Here's some pics with a sapphy Xtal on my franken 089. The first pic shows the cyclops which IMO is quite good. Correct mag and no halo where it was attached. The second pic shows the fit which is what annoys me the most. Xtal is a little tall for the case so won't seat flush. That of course could be the case so not sure I can fault them for that. Finally the purple AR which is exaggerated on this watch because the dial can give of a similar hue but most of this is the crystal. I had a colorless AR before and I can definitely tell the difference. RIP Xtal.

I ended up getting one. Happy with the crystal and cyclops mag was good but AR was the Chinese purple hue, which kinda sucked. Will have to get new AR at some point

That's what I thought but you DLC'd it?

Whoa!!! What is that?

Nevertheless, stunning.

Great info!! So what dial does OP have? If it's not the /1 then this build is basically perfect. Any idea what Eric is wearing in the video? Doesn't seem like an overly thin case like a /1

Great post, thanks for the education Nanuq. Oh, and nice time pieces!!!

Well at least we don't have to look at it. I've never met someone so hostile about his stance on a watch being genuine that was so incredibly horribly a fake. I guess it's like that shaggy song: "just say it wasn't you"

So what's the difference between a 6538 and 6536 case? I thought they were the same and the only diff between the models was the depth rating and cosc rating. If you haven't seen this talking watched episode. Eric Ku is wearing an amazing 6536. The gilt dial just sparkles on his wrist the entire video but jump to 8:45 to listen to just the discussion on the 6536

ew I'll play. A watch that I forget about until I put it on and then always think damn, that's just a beautiful watch. Also my very first Franken. What a Pandora's box that opened up. Lol my poor wallet.

That's pure awesome. Can you share the specs?

Really incredible job. So impressive.

Yeah, if we all reported it why doesn't ebay take it down?

It's hilarious. He's a stubborn f$ck. he's been arguing with me for 2 days that it's gen. I simply asked him to show me another 116622 anywhere on the planet with a silver seconds hand. He has no response for that one other than swearing and changing the subject

This seller is actually arguing with me that this is a gen Rolex. He said if it was not genuine he'd buy me a new Rolex: http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/152093629733

Love this

Why? He was totally honest in the descriptions. Don't hate the player hate the game.

The eyes and ability of the members here never cease to amaze me. As with all my watches, trying to make them identical to gen is not my goal. Trying trying to make them into something I look down and love is always the goal. Generally, a phenomenal AR and a great dial is usually all it takes. Sometimes, a few other bits are added. I love this one just how it is and all the mods were done by me so probably not going any further. Although rather than have the A7750 serviced, it will be tempting to throw in a gen ETA at which time, the hands would need to be done anyway. We'll see when the time comes. Kudos to you good sir for a great eye.

That's amazing. Fake case and fake dial at he got $6000. The seller was tonnywatches. Lots of members here are buying his dials. Nothing really to flag about him as a seller, he was honest in the description.
