I built this movement from parts some new some used, runs like a charm. But it's boring so I changed it slightly Also making a dial to go with it. Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

The problem with franken is, they are not recognised by rolex even though every part on it came from them at some point. So there is no real value in the whole watch. Its only worth anything in parts. Or to someone that wants it bad enough. But that's life. So the greater value it to its creator me . That said it may as well be a rep.

It has taken a bit of time sourcing parts.. All the parts to build the dream. But I got there and I done it for a lot of 1000's less than buying one. Its all genuine but it never left the factory with any of the parts it took to build. These are still £6k upwards. I cut the price in half. By building it from scratch. It was an ARF but not a single part of that is left. Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

Waiting for the gold hands now and it's complete Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

It might have been cheaper to buy a complete movement, but the way I done it ensured it's all right and not something I may have to spend a [censored] load more money on. A new sealed unit upto and beyond £2.5k, I am £1,465 in the movement, gen wg lume hands £52. And buying a concentric dial for £402 Inc shipping on Friday. Plus another set of hands to match yg lume gen. Somewhere I have a gen 18k yg bezel and crown... Somewhere lol. Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

I have a supplier in the UK. He supplied most movement parts, and just fitted gen white gold tritium hands he supplied. Damn they are heavy for the size. Also ordered my holy grail dial. Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

My super rep ARF with gen movement Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

It isn't that is the only part but. If you go to the expense of a gen complete automatic winding device with rotor. Gen mainplate, gen train wheel bridge, minute pinion Bridge, you have to go gen balance, and bridge. Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

As I posted a few weeks ago, I have been changing parts in the sh 3135, now I am left with two bridges and a nice new set of hands to change, my ARF has a almost whole new beating heart. A genuine 3135 and what a difference it is. Setting time, date is tight but crisp, the slap play in the hands has gone. It just feels so much better. Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

Got balance and bridge today, all gen bits but running very slow Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk
