China reps everything. I bet you could find replica turkeys coming out of china, but no replica watches coming out of turkey. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

I noticed this on my H factory, but thought I noticed the same thing on the gen at an ad I recently visited. It made me feel better about mine when I saw the same on the gen. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

I know you do. I have seen some of your posts regarding the crown gards on a v2 noob sub. It's not a bad thing, our hobby needs guys with eagle eyes and X ray vision like you! Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

Tried to capture a similar angle to the last gen pic above. Again so close I wouldn't consider it a tell. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

My eyes must not be as sharp man. Lol I think they are very close. Maybe if you have a gen right next to the noob.... Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks! Got the bezel from a jeweler who builds custom diamond bezels on watches. He made a diamond bezel for a dssd and happened to have the original bezel assembly still. Cost for the bezel, install, plus other work done to the watch was roughly $1250.00 Plus I paid 700 for the watch and gen dssd box set with booklets. So I am roughly 2k in at this point. Not bad considering no one will ever be able to tell it's a rep. Plus with a sw200 movement this watch should last forever, and be serviceable should it ever stop working.

Awesome watch man. With a gen lv insert, it would be [censored]! Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

I think you are confused. The V3 is made by the noob factory, the H Factory makes the H Factory Diver. V3 and H Factory are two different watches. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

Why would I need a Gen Crystal? This one looks great imo. You think different?

I found this Forum a few months back, and have really enjoyed reading, and leaning many things about so many different watches. I have been an avid collector, and dealer of Gen watches for years, but I have learned more in the last few months on this forum than the last 2 years dealing with Gens. I have also met a few friends along the way. My quest for a Franken DSSD started this summer when I ran across Blue Rocket's PB Franken DSSD Thread. I had no idea who Pbdad was at that time, but I knew I would be sending a watch to him to receive the Gen Bezel Assembly & Dial makeover. A few days after reading about Blue Rocket's watch, I ran across a BK DSSD in the sales section here on this forum. I didnt even haggle over the price, I just bought it as fast as I could. I had seen a few pop up that were literally "gone in 60 seconds" so I knew I had to act fast! I sent the watch to PB in October with the intentions of having him work on the AR, Dial, Movement, and WR while I was sourcing a Gen Bezel Assembly. In early November I found a Gen Bezel Assembly, and sent it overnight to PB. The rest is history... I am in the process of sourcing a Gen Bracelet and Clasp for the watch. IMO, this watch deserves so much more than the Rep Bracelet. Construction-wise its fine, but it has many tells - Cornette on the clasp, Link Screws, SEL Fitment, etc. In the mean time, I purchased a black Rubber B Strap. I have grown to love Rubber Straps on my AP's, and Pam's so I figured, Why not on a Rolex? The fit and feel are amazing, and it looks pretty good too! Thanks for reading, now on to the pics! Gen DSSD I recently Sold (For Comparison) Back to the Franken: Amazing Gen-LIke Lume - Look how well he matches the color of the Gen Pearl Lume! Thanks for Looking!

Check Ebay for Gen Bezel Assemblies. There are a few floating around now. I wouldnt worry about a Gen Dial. Send the watch to PBdad, he can transform your Noob dial into a Gen looking master piece. I just received my Franken DSSD back from PB. I will post a few pics here in the rolex section in a few minutes.

Awesome pick up man! My first Rolex was a R Serial ND Submariner. Should have never flipped it, but I have a problem with that... Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
