Guest darthvinh Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Hi All, please review these pictures, need feedback and any flaws you may see http://www.flickr.com/photos/82143055@N00/ I assume this a v3... thanks in advance! is there something wrong with the triangle baton at 12 oclock position? It looks mis-alligned or slanted (eg not even) picture 11 shows this. In addition, chrono seconds do not reset to 0 completely in picture 11 Edited March 28, 2011 by darthvinh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMW760 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 What's your plan for it ? If you want to mod it, all the items mentioned are no big deal. Just from looking at it, I can tell you that if you invest 250-300 in GEN parts, you'll have a top of the line Mild Franken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mike Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I would not waste the money on Gen hands...if they are brand new from Breitling, they are a one shot deal...as you have them installed once and that it is. They do not come off without destroying them or cutting pinions & posts. This is the exact reason Breitling replaces hands on a Gen when it comes in for service.

BMW760 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Nothing is "impossible" to get, but some parts are a LOT harder than others. Sometimes it's all about being in the right place at the right time. Hands are very rare. Pushers are also hard to get. My SA has everything exterior GEN except for the caseback. But it took the help of a very secretive source to get some of the parts. If you swap the Bezel, Dial and datewheel, you'll be happier than a pig in sh-t. My Hyper Franken was taken to a level that I haven't seen anywhere yet. Once I get this GEN movement installed, it is done. But I would never do this again. Frankly, at some points you're just better off buying a GEN. For me, a lot of it is the satisfaction of the hunt ! Any jerkoff can go buy a GEN, but when you assemble a great Franken, there's a personal satisfaction that comes with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMW760, there is no way to get a Gen Caseback since every caseback that comes from Breitling is engraved with that watch's serial numbers. Everything else is hard but possible. I could get the Hands if anyone is interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
