Guest Sql_pl Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 OK, cannot keep my mouth shut any longer Here it is! Finally after many years, 1 CN rep 116520, 1 Franken-16520, I managed to get the gen. Nice feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Here are the pics of the steps that lead me to where I am now: First Sec@6 CN Rep: Franken-16520 Made of all gen parts apart from movement (which was ebel 134 el primero) My friend's gen 16520 that was my loaner for a few days: And now this, gen Y-serial 116520: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Congrats. I know the feeling. For me it was 16710. Was it tough to choose between black and white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsupilami Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 congrats m. I guess as a real watchlovers we all end in buying genuines. or at least good frankens :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Was it tough to choose between black and white? I always prefered black dial in 16520 El Primero one and white in newer 116520 in-house. If I had a choice I guess it would be white dial but this one I found 160 km from my house and for the price I could not say no to. I may swap dials somewhere down the road, I already had one genuine 116520 dial in white that I sold few months ago: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) Marco, the rep came from EddieLee, right after they released their sec@6 models. It was really great, just too thick. Bezel was way too angled. Chrono pushers were too long and CG needed a little work but apart from that it was very very nice. Dial was amazingly good, now that I look at the gen I see my old rep dial in it Edited July 26, 2010 by Sql_pl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
