    Not "equally" reasonably priced, but more on the high side of "acceptable"

     

    I would ask for more pics if one is interested...

    Hi, All, I was able to make contact with the DarkLord and he is making me a 2 line gilt dial. DarkLord is also making a set of lollipop gilt hands so that the patina matches. Good communication and did not need a referral after all. 

    Did you supply genuine dial or did he?

    Also... care to share the costs for others to know (combined aproximate cost)

    I'm guessing it's for a 6536/6538?

    Add your own..

    Buy if you need, not to make a buck.

     

    The rules are simple, the price should be reasonable/”below the fixed price market value equivalents that haven’t sold for months”

     

    First up...

  6. SH3130 in Noob 114060, movement retaining

    Hey guys,

     

    I have a franken project for a Noob 114060, installed gen dial, spongebob insert and a JF SH3130 movement.

     

    The Noob 114060 originally came with a 2824, I’m now having a small problem securing the SH3130 into the case, the movement tabs required are an awkward size.

     

    Does anyone know of a movement retaining ring that would serve the purpose to secure the movement in place? All other ideas welcome!

     

    Cheers,

     

    PB

    I’m pretty sure the Noob came with a 2836. Which usually menas stem height is wrong.

    which version of Noob 114060?

    Not sure how readily available the parts are for the DSSD..

       

    If budgets and/or availability if gen parts are a concern, I’d go with a 16610 build. 

    JF 16610 base.   Send off for movement service and maybe some gen movement parts, gen bezel insert, gen crystal, gen crown,   All in under $2000 and very hard to tell apart from gen.   

    Ill post pics of my latest project from our very own meiskiped 

     

    Gotta go 100% with you mate.

     

    DSSD semi-franken will be tough.

    eBay and patience..

     

    Create a ”saved search” thatll give you salut updates.

     

    E.g. i found this 15010-case incl FedEx from Southampton Amerika for 200 USD (!). Everything except for the crown.

     

    Already had dial and hands...

  20. World’s first ARF Gentona?

    If you get a steal deal on a vintage part or watch, let’s say a 6263 PaulNewman for 3k, and you happen to get tired of it and want to flip it. Would you flip it at the price you paid for it or rather sell it for market value? Exactly. You don’t have to tell me, I know the answer already. emoji6.png

    The profiteering aspect has already been discussed on here and I’m wondering whether you’ve read that thread or not? If you did, it seems like you did not get the message in that.

    I don’t know what you would do, but  as far as I would do... ask @sputim how much I asked him for a gen 6265 bezel and mk3 pushers? I guess his answer will say what I (!) do. 

     

    And once-and-once again.

     

    P.S. The irony is striking. Sachal tried to sell a watch with ”proper serial engravings” and I called him out on the BS. And now he calls me out on the Fantasy-part and it not being proper, a.k.a. ”does the same thing”.

    Except:

    1) This isn’t my watch.

    2) This isn’t an advert.

    3) I never claimed it to be anything. Neither fantasy. Nor 100% period correct. I shouldn’t have called it Genenstein, I sure made baby-Jesus cry on this one. I think we need to upgrade the ”National Replica Encylopdiae” to cover the terms Frankenstein and Genenstein better.

    If I come off like that, then it must be true.

     

    I’m not the one banned for filipping fake shit as genuine and profiteering on RWI and TRF. 

     

    So yeah, I’m jealous of him. I want to cheat people off their cash. It’s my mantra when I wake up in the morning.

     

    Shall we get back to the watch?

    I’m not the least butthurt as IT ISN’T my bloody watch.

     

    Jeebus.

     

    However I’m not the least surprised.

     

    sacsah1, here are your accomplishments:

    banned on RWI, tried to pull the same stunts here. 

     

    Keyboard-taliban of professional calibre. I’ve made his salea threads very popular around here. Maybe why they aren’t appearing anymore?

    Looks like a decent build but the ARF rehaut still sucks compared to gen. The pushers also don't align like gen so I bet the chrono start and stop is pretty finicky

    Also calling something genenstein when the case and bracelet is rep is pretty immaturish. But I guess one way to feel better about yourself. It should only be consider genenstein when everything from case to bracelet to movement to dial and bezel is genuine Rolex parts.

     

     

     

    Like this emoji23.png305cc4cacbd67c5a262621b7e482d8da.jpg&key=05668698f16a79f3aabd2febd668851d4d40cbcd546549c66645a3c6d62a3fd9

    Also removing the rehaut would make this watch a fantasy model. If you remove the rehaut, it should come with 78490 bracelet with a different clasp. So if OP removed the rehaut to attain higher waterproofing but is using a 78590 bracelet, it doesn't exist in gen. But still not a bad build on a budget.

    I fart in your general direction too...

     

    P.S. Everything aligns 0.05mm. Tubes, pushers, everything is redrilled and case is slimmed from the top, thereforw rehaut is removed.

     

    So a Genenstein according to you uses gen midcase and bracelet too? Then it’s not really a Genenstein, more of a black markert unsellable Rolex.

     

    But sure Sachal your imaginary wiener is bigger.

    Not bad, there was one built last year with gen case and bracelet, and of course gen movement, dial, pushers, crystal, hands, crown etc
    So I agree that yours is the first franken built on an ARF base but definitely not the first of its kind.
    However I think yours is more impressive because of the amount of work involved, and the passion and motivation to get it done.
    When everything is gen, it is more like assembly and not modding.
    Well done and wear her well! It is watches like this that push the limits of the hobby.

    Are you offering modification service for members commercially? Or just sharing your costs and experience?

    I know that there have been earlier Genensteins. This was a Genenstein w/ Phong midcase before it became a ARF Genenstein. I’m pretty sure its the first ARF Genenstein though.

     

    A member that I have quite low regards of (sacsah) was the first with a Phong Genenstein (as far as I know) and my friend was nr 2.

     

    That’s the reason for the Phong remarks. His midcase was both expensive and mot especially correct.

     

    I am not the creator of this watch, it is a close friend of mine. I was the one that got the ball rolling. Helped him aquire first the Phong and now the stock ARF case.

     

    However, the work is planned and done 100% by my friend. He is a master watchmaker, 6 years of watch smith school in the early 80s (or whatever its called in english) and 30+ years of working on high end watches.

     

    I asked him what he would charge for doing the same work and assembly should a member ask.

     

    However, he used to have 2 spare NOS 4130s (sealed), but since both remaining ones are sold, the service is strictly Bring-your-own-parts, as ordering a 4130 from Rolex Geneva is lets put it mildly... ”not that easy”.
