The 99,99% Gen IWC 3717 project (or should i go for the whole thing?)

[concepta]

I recently acquired a genuine IWC 3717 case from one of the members, and for the first time i actually have the chance to go 100% gen! Adding a gen movement, dial/hands and strap/bracelet.

But then it is not a franken anymore ...so i came up with the idea of keeping ONE of the small rep chrono hands, just to have it 99,99%

No fun with 100% gen...right?

Pictures will be added during the progress!

Looking forward to it! Congrats on your acquisition!

I saw that case for sale and immediately thought "CONCEPTA" - glad you picked it up man!!

Hmmmmm, I actually thought making a 100% franken was a rep-geeks ultimate goal?

This ones going to be special!

Build it.....

And then sell it to me

Very cool. Technically would it not still be a franken? ie: the whole made up of collected parts albeit in this case all gen. Either way it will be awesome.

Hmm..a question of definition. I would say Gen... It

Going to be good to see in the end, Tell you what dont tell any one what the rep part is and see who managed to spot it

this should be interesting... now not to knock on logic's door... how close would the price of the gen to this franken gen

Maybe 1/3 to half price compared to AD

[Guest jsuperman17]

Mmm interesting.. I guess its the sentimental value that goes into the watch... Being part of the whole process will negate any thoughts of getting a gen huh

[Member X]

Dammit, I wish I had the money for something like this!

[JohnDorian]

Its kind of like one of those WatchCo Seamasters. I wouldn't hesitate to sell something like this on a gen forum as long as it's explained its a parts watch.

I would bet that watch would sell at $2250 or so easily in a gen forum.

[AwesomeWatch]

I want this watch!!! Build and sell to ME PLEASE!!!

[Toadtorrent]

That is completely awesome!!! I would use the gen hand...but an aftermarket gasket.

I would be interested to buy it and can't wait to see the finish product Concepta. I would go for all the way (100%)

[Katerchen]

Rep hands?

Aftermarket gasket?

You must be crazy

Enjoy your new acquisition!
