lanikai Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I would like to see Bazz's toppers. Great idea R! For those of you that are newer to the forum.. Bazz is one of the most accomplished Photogs here.. and I believe was the first to do a splashing water shot on a watch.. may not have invented it.. but it was what everyone else aspired to..

hackR Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 me thinks there's a little diversion in that last post, Lan, my friend... the key with this thread is not a quantity thang, it's to highlight just a few of your most favorite watches...so, cmon big fella -- how about a glimpse into the ones that you place a notch above the masses... please...pretty please...

ubiquitous Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Before I start, I have to say that my collection is very small, as I try to keep it within 10 watches or less. My goal is to have a tightly focused core of favorites, so knocking this down to 5 pieces is... Difficult to say the least. As mentioned prior, I have pics posted in every possible corner of the forum... So, I apologize now if any of you guys are sick of seeing these things And if you are tired of seeing these old faces... I'm open to suggestions as to what I should try and build next to break up the monotony First on my list... My 4th Generation 42mm PO franken. This was built on a whim, as I really just wanted to see how far I could take one of these. As a bonus, the bracelet came from RobbieG... So a little sentimental value as well I never knew that I would come to enjoy this one as much as I do. -4th Generation case -Genuine bezel complete -Genuine dial -Genuine hands -2892 datewheel -genuine bracelet Next is my 9411 franken. This is a piece I had built a few years back, but wouldn't come to realize it's significance in my collection until more recently. I built a near exact twin of this same watch for my brother Lanikai; since doing so, a strange, karmatic bond has formed between us in which we can almost expect that when one life occurrence or situation happens with one of us, we can be sure that a similar instance of situation will transpire with the other. It's stranger than fiction and something neither of us can figure out. I figure in order to break free of this strange bond, I'll have to burn the damn watch This piece is comprised of: -MBW case (5513 marked Polex) -ETA 2783 -Genuine dial -Genuine hands (thanks, Zig!) -Genuine T-125 crystal -Genuine insert w/ old pearl -Genuine crown/tube -Case modification -Genuine 580 ends -Genuine 78360 links -Genuine 93150 clasp My next pick is my 16520 franken. This was one of my first builds and remains a favorite. I think I spent a little over a year collecting parts for this thing and finally saw it come to life on my work space. -Genuine case -Genuine dial -Genuine hands -El Primero 400 31j movement -Genuine crown/tube -Genuine bezel -Genuine bracelet (in storage) -Self polished hollow link rep bracelet (the gen bracelet irritates my skin ) My 3717 franken is quite possibly my second favorite watch. This piece is special to me as three extraordinary gents on the forum helped me immensely with parts and build. Thank you, Kruzer00, Lani and Zig! This one has: -V1 EL100 case -Genuine dial -Genuine hands -Swiss 7750 -German ETA D/DW -Chief AR crystal My final piece is a humble one. It's not perfect. It's not accurate to any gen. It's a mish mash of parts, and it's sincere. This is a piece that my son built at the age of 5, with his own two little hands. He did everything from picking the parts he wanted to use, setting the dial, setting the hands, casing the movement and threading on the case back. For that reason alone, this is my most cherished piece... Sorry for the long winded list... Each piece has a bit of interesting background to them which is why they hold a special place in my heart. I have a few pieces that I am working on now that will also likely make the list down the road as they see completion. I guess that's really what makes these builds great in my mind... The path taken to reach the destination... Thanks for allowing me to share... //ubi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
