You know you really need to stop with all these great IWC Frankens!!! Looking great Rosnik! Can't wait for the finished product! So, with this one in the pipeline, how many frankens will you have now? 3 total?

If you count only IWC?

Yes

i know that watch...it comes originally from me (rep watch and swiss eta 7750).

domi sourced the gen movement, gen dial and gen hands. he is now waiting for the gen bezel

everytime i visit him i see this watch. the gen dial makes a huge differnce !!! once this watch is finished it will be one of the nicest iwc frankens

are you going to buy this one?

best,

dom

It's going to be a very nice one.

One thing,.... one of the chrono hands should be white instead of blue

Enjoyable work it will be

Looking forward to seeing the final result. Are you adding a gen inner tachy ring (or is that the bezel referred to in another post)? Also is it possible to correct the misaligned bezel "click" mechanism? It always killed me that you have to correct the adjustor by half a click. In any case congrats on what I know will be a stunning project.

[rosnik]

I do not know about Domi's secrets,

wile the DWs are Gen on Gen movement on Gen bezel,

so I suppose that all is easy correctly aligned.

NICE work in progress!

I have a gen Cousteau and although the standard rep is actually pretty close, this will be identical :-D

Best of luck! Btw. what other fankens do you have?

Cheers!
