well id wait for the new 116710 chs case to come out, pure time just posted. now you can jus upgrade the parts and place it in and you would have hopefully gen spec and swap out the date and crown and youd have a pretty decent watch for less than 2k.
misiekped has built my franken 16610 as well as currently building my 116710. Honest guy and does great work. have been sending most of my watches to him for fixes, since he is busy though it can take a month or two but he makes sure everything is perfect can't recommend enough
Lol, i dont even plan to have the bracelet away from my case however. its just you being ready for it if you were to be called out not like that would happen but still. This is the worst hobby however this hobby gives me the most satisfaction.
pictures from the book
the difference is a MARK 1 and a MARK 2 , mark 2 has the letter "t" meaning Trous Borgnes" sunken Holes
Forgot to Add mark 1 had holes, and Mark 2 no holes.
