I had the same feeling..
Take a look at this pics, yes they are gen, but lights work great imho:

Thanks for the nice photos, very informative..
Good to hear that a gen crystal could fit, watcher has also confirmed it to me.
Do you think that a gen bracelet would fit?
I guess we will have to use the noob parts again.
Well, for sure the price is fair because 2892-2 mov is much more expensive, but the 218$ version of Joshua's YM has an ETA 2836-2 mov inside, not an asian one.
So I guess from the buyer side it's just an aesthetic matter, if this one is more than 2x closer to gen than the Noob (ETA) one.
Anyone seen this Yachtmaster from Joshua, Eta 2892-2 powered?
He says:
"Only 200 pcs Made.
Slim/Sleek Caseset . Same Thickness as the genuine."
It looks pretty good to me, but $528.00 is a weird price for a rep.
BTW I've just bought Narikaa's YM, 66GBP and I believe it's the best choice.
Cheers
Great review, this beauty is in my wish list..
But shouldn't it be the same of TTK?
From TTK's pics, date font and the small sticks (four instead of three) under SWISS MADE are different.
I'm starting to mod my MBW 16610 sub with gen crown + tube, JewelryOutlet Insert, Watchmaterial Pearl, noob dial and strap.
I only miss noob dial and bracelet, so I was wondering whose is better for my mod, TTK's noob, Narikaa's nynpho, or Josh's beginmariner?
Someone says they are the same wath, someone says they are different..
Thank you
I have a genuine new Rolex 3135 datewheel, bought for a franken 16200 project, never completed.
I paid 50 euros on the bay, I can sell it for the same price
Being a 1:1 copy we could easly replace genuine bezel insert, crown and bracelet, and I guess a gen dial cutting the dial feet (reps dial like noob usually are 1mm smaller then gen dial)
That could be nice..
Which case works well for a 6542? I'd like to use my gen 1675 and bracelet, but I'm afraid no rep could use them.
I've builden a franken DJ, but GMT is still my favourite.. , and it's too bad there are no accurate 1675 GMT's available.
Then I've also seen the new Retro Ed GMT Master II from Andrew, what is the difference from the previous one?
BTW I'll keep waiting some years more for the "famous" 1:1 Watchmaker9 new gen reps :D
I'd like to make some mods to build my Franken GMT.
I have:
-genuine dial
-genuine insert
-genuine crown/ jubilee bracelet
Now I'd need an advice for the proper case for the dial to fit, and some suggestion for a proper mod maybe
Does the Vintage GMT from andrew works well?
I saw the new Retro Ed GMT Master II SS Black/Red Bez from TT, what is the difference from the previous?
Thank you.
Hi,
For a franken day-date, is it possible to change the case and the dial with gens?
I got a rep by PT.
Gen dial (does it fit well?)
gen case (ETA-2836, so 16013, 16014 and 16030 cases?)
hands
cannon pinion maybe
Thanks
