Did you use a different case back or you just machine your regular one? It looks very nice bro! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My gut tells me the engraving for both are the same since it's the same era. The only thing I ve never seen before is " Modele Depose". Registered Design? I didn't know Rolex made cases in France Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's doesn't look bad @ all J! I just finished applying a some gloss & texture on one I got from @dlf. Here is the dial I got from dlf Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk And here is the dial after I did my magic How did the 2451 work? Is it plug & play in a 2824 case? Does it take 28xx dial feet?

Nice one there J! I'm plotting on one myself. You need a big ball sec hand & brevet crown to make the cipher complete. I will use a felsa 4000 series movement for mine. . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm embarking on a similar build with a spider dial & gen movt. I ve been conflicted on what case to use Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been looking for a Gen blue dial for a sweet Franken 116000/34 Oyster Perpetual No-Date 36mm but they are rare. I found a silver gen dial for $350 but really wanted a blue dial plus my budget was $250. Some where in the process i decided to give it a rest and I acquired a tritium 14270 T<25 dial....I guess I settle for less..maybe? I still wasnt satisfied so i sat on this dial for a few months. Few weeks a ago i decided to start my search again and guess what i found a 28mm dial for a vintage Oyster Perpetual No-Date 36mm. Until that point I never knew Oyster Perpetuals came in 36mm before year 2000. Ofcourse I bought the dial and then furthered my research. Come to find out it was a ref. 1018 i have been trying to discover. Ref 1018 wasnt too popular vs Ref 1016 with very similar DNA. I found a hand full of pics for SS but none for TT or 14k capped /FG model. I read in a few threads on VRF & TRF that mentioned rolex did make them in TT & 14k FG. I also found out in my rolex parts ibook the parts specs...T21 plexi & 5.3mm crown(unlike 1016 with 6mm). After all the research, I think I will be very satisfied with building one vs my original intended Franken 116000/34 Below is the list of the proposed parts Gen gold 1018 (pictured below) Gen SS 5.3mm crown JMB bezel for T21 JMB 1016 v2 case with 1018 engraving Felsa 4007n Movement Gold dauphine replacement hands for Titoni ETA 28XX watch (pictured below) Custom vintage suede strap with Gen 16mm rolex buckle Rivet bracelet

Im glad you guys worked it out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have so much to say but I wouldn't. You guys should just work it out...it didn't ve go come to this. Lets be civil & if you ain't gonna say something to help the matter, STFU !! :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think "Son of Phong" is www.vintagewatchmaker.com. "S.O.P" seems to ve similar high end parts from Vietnam like MQ , NDT & Phong. Their 6263 build kit(everything but a v72 movt) is $2k. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

IMHO I will say go with this parts spec list - silix case (softened, reshaped & redrilled) - HR dial - Athaya crown - Fesla 1560 or 4007 movt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep....Matt did Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
