What the heck, lets build a one of a kind franken.

[sander]

Quite some time I have a gen red dial with tachyring laying around and today I decided to build me another AP.

I used a sec @ 12 movement and case and modded it so that it fits the gen dial and tachyring.

I'm not sure about the red but at least it's something you don't see everyday

Cheers!

well built, looks gen to me, what does the gen watch with that gen dial look like

Like this.

I like the ss bezel better but doesn't have a spare one left at the moment.

Will change it later.

[miagi]

gotta admit that your combo looks cooler.. black rubber suits the red more than ss

[OSRep]

I think the red is for wearing whilst taking your ferrari out on the weekend Not an everyday wearer.....I prefer SS bezel too....I do love that style dial though. Thanks for sharing Sander.....

What kind of mods did you have to do to the case? Any mods to the movement? Looks like the date wheel is spot on!

[HauteHippie]

Wow, that's not just red.... That's RED ! ! !

Definitely unique and an eye catcher!

[redwatch]

No chief, it's not just RED, its

Looks great Sander! I like the dial a lot!

[MADRED7]

I really do like it....great work there. It sounds you just decided on the weekend "lets build a Franken" and just did it.

But I know it was way more work than we can imagine.

Congrats

If you have any chance, try to put that dial/tachy in the old-style case....I have a wonderful NOS original AP ROO red calf strap that was delivered with that gen AP some years ago and matches the dial perfectly.

Cheers

Very cool project. Wear it well.

[sander]

Thanks for the comments guys!

It's not a daily beater but for once in a while it's a funny watch.

Since the gen tachyring is lower than the rep, I had to create a 1,25mm shim to lift the tachyring from the case.

For the movement mods you can look here

Well.... it was actually a rainy sunday afternoon project

Unfortunately the old-style case will not fit the sec @ 12 movement.

[Guest Sql_pl]

Maybe you can get a sec@12 eod and try to get rid of pvd?

[Jon Martin]

nice

Yes, I

Nice one S!

We need more "fresh" looking franken AP ROOs

Cheers!

Sweet Red Devil, that looks wonderful.

[Defender110]

that DW lines up perfectly.

must have a gen LWO movement as well w/ case mods for the fitment.

not just a gen dial installation

Catching this thread late, but hilariously, I saw one of these yesterday! It definitely caught my eye.

EDIT: OK, looking back, it seems I've already commented in this thread. Heh, well, I guess my thoughts haven't changed.
