My next SMP franken on the way (inspirational photo attached)

Recommended Posts

Now that I sold my 007 franken I've pulled enough money together to finish my next franken. This one will be a definite keeper next to my FrPO. I wont throw the details out just yet ( some of you already know what it is... :D ), but I am going to post some inspirational photos up................................................

Here is the shell for my project, my newly aquired FrSMP 2254.50. All I kept on this was the case (note the modded cgs and correct HE position)...I parted the rest of the watch.

For those wondering, the dial your seeing is off a Seamaster 2230.50.00 (none Amercas Cup)

More to come. My watch should be done by the end of next week (pending if my parts show up)

And the finished product:

Here are the mods as it stands today:

- Gen dial

- Gen bezel

- Gen hands

- Gen crown/tube

- Gen rubber strap

- ETA datewheel

- Mineral crystal (its flat and gen like. OK for now + looks great)

- Modded CG's (by Zigmeister)

- Rep Springbars

- ETA 2824-2 (serviced)

I own a beautiful rep of this watch.

Gen hands/dial etc.

My plan is to replace the movement with gen eta.

I wear it with a gen rubber bracelet and gen deployment.

I have owned this watch for 10 years, and still think that is a beautiful diver as was ever made.

Congratulations on a beautiful piece. Wear it well.
