Really a nice watch and glad you like it did you put it on a yuki bracelet now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thx! Indee a rare piece. The watch came from TheSociety and I was lucky enough to source a sealed gen T20 plexi which is incredibly clear and has an amazing curvature. Also added a phong insert which actually is the closest you can get. Getting a gen insert is probably out of reach nowdays. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice build! What about the bezel, has it improved over the previous version and might a new click spring help to make it tighter? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good choice! That‘s mine with athaya 700 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

703 and possibly even 704 is now used as service crown. The 700 was to my knowledge the one installed back ik the days and some later serials probably also 702. no guarantee tho. However, the athaya 700 is very nice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you really like the watch source a gen tritium dial and hand set. I did the same and plan to convert it to a 16610 R-Serial with lug holes and proper engravings Good luck mate! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Epic! Can‘t wait for my tc to get vintage Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

have you tried to clean them with rodico?

Yes looks very nice! It‘s stated in the thread that the base is a jf. The whole case is modded by one person and another services the sh3135 and adds gen dw. Seems to be a very very good tc alternative Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for your input gonna try that. Yes was removed from a jf 16610. Maybe just bad luck but the hands are 100% gen tritium hands. Not really fond of messing around with the hands.

I have recently started my Franken 16610 R-Serial build but encountered a few issues. Let's talk specs first: - TC v6 case and v7 extreme complete bezel assembly - Gen Swiss - T<25 dial, matching hands and insert with a very nice and rich patina (all parts were removed from the same watch) - Gen crystal no lec (also from the same watch) - Gen 703 Crown and Tube - Gen serif DW - SH3135 Only have one picture currently and the build was more or less straight forward. However, I encounter 2 issues. First, the gend second hand does not fit the SH3135 pinion. The pinion seems a tad too small so the second hand is sitting loose (Rightnow a jf second hand is mounted which is a big no-go). Second, quickdate set does not work. I have read about similar problems people have encountered with the SH3135 movement. My best bet is probably to replace the second hand pinion and the calendar setting mechanism with original rlx parts. Or are there any other ideas/fixes? Next step will be case engraving with R-Serial and of course the obligatory lug holes. Comments on potential improvements / fixes are welcome Cheers, sputim
