  10. Franken explorer 14270 build.

    Wait. You found a gen 16200 case, gen dial, gen crown and tube for less than a grand?  All in with ETA movement and hands is still under a grand?  That seems like a good deal.  The gen 1500s I've found are over that.  Not by much, but still more than that threshold.

    Yep.

     

    case came with the tube $350

    dial $250

    NOS crown $150

    Interested in using a gen case, what did you use to hold the movement in place and how was stem position?

    You would treat this build like you would a MyManMatt Datejust build - Raffles movement ring #2

     

    Stem height is perfect.

     

    If you use a JMB 16200, 2824 slim case, it already comes with the movement ring.

     

     

    Is that a rep bracelet or did you go gen with it?  It really is a nice looking build.

     

    Question that I am considering - is it better to build a franken 14270 or buy a gen vintage 6694 or 1500?  A lot of these vintage gens are cheaper than these franken builds.  I dunno, I'm really leaning towards vintage gens now and then building a JMB 1016 and rocking my 114270 rep.

    It's a rep bracelet. I totally forgot the source but from what I remember, it was spot on.

     

    Franken 14270 is a lot cheaper than any gen I know of. If you can find a all gen 1500 for under $1000, I'd jump on that.

     

    For my next build, I am tempted to have JMB engrave 14270 between the lugs... :)

    MMM is a great guy. I don't like how Repgeek owner is making him look like a villain. He adds a lot to the community. We are beginning to loss sight of why we are all here....its for a hobby!

    I love your natural aged PT 1680. It really looks great. I had a couple pass through my hands and I regret parting with them every time I see pictures of yours.

     

    Open up the inner cg a little if you can..

     

     

    and if you decide to part with it, lmk :)
