How much was the gen glide lock? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Live1 please post pics of the assembly of the bezel parts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My builder would also like a step-by-step guide to removing the insert and/or installation without breaking the insert. Please help!

As the original poster, I DEMAND to see some pictures of your builds.

Thank you guys. This sucks--I hate waiting. The BP was getting a lot of love in the comparisons to the v3. The major documented BP problems seemed to be with the dial and insert, both of which have been replaced with gen. Ugghhh... I think BK now offers v3. Should I wait for v4? CONUS=continental US. Live1, I may do the same: harvest the gen parts and put them on a better body. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, what's the fastest way to get a v3 in CONUS? Bk? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He took out his caliper and measured the diameter of my crappy BP vs gen bezels. He then busted the BP insert trying to get it back on. There was a hint of anti-replica snobbery and a general unconcern about busting the BP. I left it with him to play with. I hope he doesn't [censored] it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I took them to my watch guy, who does NOT specialize in Frankens, and he didn't think the bezel assembly would fit on my BP case. I left it with him to look into it further. Would you guys please advise. Should I just wait and get a Noob v3? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is this the reason why we need the complete bezel assembly--so we can leave the insert in place and swap the entire assembly? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I may end up selling mine. I've been embroiled in a double-franken project that's turned into a larger-than-expected undertaking. I haven't even taken the plastic off the LMPO. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Dbane883 was the perfect guy to receive the first package. Those pictures are fantastic. Thank you, dbane. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What a relief! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

OPEN THE PACKAGE ALREADY! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

To install the bezel assembly in a BP case, can I take this to a regular watch guy or do I need to send it to someone who is familiar with reps? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm staring at my iPad waiting for your update! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I wondered how close a TC would be to a franken. I may take the TC off your hands. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I thought they were sold out... Did you agree to purchase, but wait to pay? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I don't have as discriminating an eye as you guys. I would appreciate your advice on my next steps. I have already purchased the watch below, but wasn't crazy about the insert, leading me to the obsessive search for a deal on a gen insert: http://www.rwgforum.net/index.php?/topic/169915-Rolex-Submariner-116610-%28sub-c%29-Franken---Gen-Dial%2C-Crystal%2C-Crown-Tube Do you recommend that I: 1) add the new gen insert from India to my current watch and sell the extra gen dial and be done with a great franken that I'll love forever (or until I lose interest 2 weeks after finishing, following my next obsession)? OR 2) buy a noob v3 as a base for combining all of the gen parts to keep and lovingly wear "forever," then reassembling the remaining components in my current BP case (including the extra gen dial) to sell? Please factor in the fact that I'll probably be paying my local watch guy for assembly, assuming he doesn't turn into an a-hole over working on a rep. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Is there an advantage of v3 noob over a BP if a gen insert is being used? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yeehaw! Mine is now scheduled to arrive Tues 5/27 by 10:30a. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I may take you up on that once I wrap up this project. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

But will it have AR under the wart... uhhh, I mean cyclops? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Those are both gorgeous. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thank you, I may just do that or buy one of yours! Lol Let me know if you find a gen clasp. I LOVE the glidelock. White lightning is magic for the bracelet. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
