Watchmeister Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 What brand do you want to franken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Starting with knowing if your watch is worthy of franken. Not all reps are in good quality and not all reps taken gen parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hi! I am looking to make a frankenwatch. Not quite sure which one i want, but it will be good. Only one problem... I have NO idea where to go to find genuine parts! Some help here please? Thank you! If you could be a little more specific, it would be helpful. As someone said, quite a few of the reps don't readily accept genuine parts. Another thing, is the watch you want to upgrade to franken status worth spending a lot of money on? Go over to the Rolex forum and read my thread "My 1665" Where do I go from here. This will give you some insight as to the costs of building a "Super franken" Rolex 1665 Double Red SeaDweller. Even if you have no interst in Rolex, read what the experts say it may open your eyes as to the costs, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
