Super-frankens are...just rep watches.  They're a trope in the rep world...designed to lure in the unwary.
So, be careful what you spend your money on folks.

The feeling of having Swiss 904L steel in the midcase and bracelet is definitely worth 12000€. So, be careful what you spend your money on folks.

Thanks Matt!  That's what I'm hearing, as well.  I've had three of the early movements and out of the three I have one good one, but it is really good.

 

They need to be serviced for aprox 150-200 USD as soon as you receive them. Dirty. Too much/too little lubricants etc.

That will make them pretty stable.

 

As far as getting an engraved one the best way is actually buying a Watch. Keep the movement and sell the rest as parts. You're guaranteed to find someone who wishes to go full-gen 3135-Franken. The VR3135 seems quite interesting. That's the only "upgrade" to the SH3135/Yuki worth mentioning. However I haven't dissected one myself so take my observations with a grain of salt.

It could mean three things..

 

1) "Real" Lollipop second hand.. Found on very early Submariners. Also special is that the hour and minute hands are pencil-shaped.

 

2) Usually refered to as "lollipop"-seconds hand which I find is wrong considering the above. It's just a normal seconds hand with a bigger circle. Usually found on 60's Submariners. Common on Tudor 7928.

 

3) Tudor Submariner 76100. Where the hour hand doesn't have the mercedes-split:

 

I have a pretty high-spec rep and I've owned several gen bezel inserts.

Nothing special about it. My 5512 PCG Tulip dial is so much more and in no way does the 3-4 times higher price on the 5517 justify it.

So 180 in total or 180 plus 4 links?

180+40=220-ish

Holo how long are those Gen bracelets? Wondering if one will fit me.

It's all full length like gen. I have about 18cm. Removed 4 links and each is about 1cm..

I have a left over gen bracelet in case anyone's looking. AD-price -15%. Used twice (yeah actually twice).

Trying to swap a BP a3132 dial into an ARF sh3132 movement. Will these directly fit? (Also, how much should a BP dial cost from a TD?)

A3132 are generally 2836-2's, this one could be a 2824-2 considering it has no need for a quick date- function. It will however not have the dial feet placed as a modern Rolex... Sorry... But you could always cut the dial feet and fasten the dial with dial dots.

A BP dial is usually between 30-45 USD.

Is the 703 more correct on a 1985-1987 5513 maybe? Because the 16800(0) started appearing then.. An it had the 703 stock right?

Anyone knows when the 703 was introduced (if ever) on 5513?


EDIT:

About 1982.. so new crown and tube coming.

I don't know the exact thickness. But I've had this discussion with@Rolojack and he informed me that early 60s especially 5512 PCGs have thinner midcases.

Perception is reality, I see myself as strong and healthy - and am going about life, and doing what I must do put this right. Thanks for the great post!  

Any updates?
