Looking into creating a super ceramic sub

[irolexu]

So I am thinking about saving up towards a BK ceramic sub and modifying it with PBdad specs and wanted some inputs and price ideas. Heres what I have planned and if anyone has better ideas and things to consider chime in!

-AR cyclops

-Brush bracelet to gen like spec

-Pearl mod and centered

-Paint mod

-Change the hour hand to skinnier design

-Ad TC V3 endlinks to the existing bracelet (this is where I need input as I am not sure if the design on the 16610 end link and 116610 are the same or not)

-Gen crown (does it use the same as 16610?) Have one in stock

So with all listed what am I expected to pay? I really do not want to hit the 1000 dollar mark.

I have done this exact thing except I had a full resume by pbdad and it was more than you are not wanting to spend. I would expect $1200ish

Why bother doing all that, if you're going to use the wrong case? The rehaut and engraving and lugs will still be off. You can build yourself a Super-hulk like mine (or use the black dial if you prefer) for cheaper than that, and use a gen crystal instead of an AR'ed cyclops installed on a rep crystal. There's nothing like a gen crystal with cyclops AR, trust me. I've tried everything else, nothing touches the gen (the BigCrown might come close).

What's the correct case? I take it your saying BK uses an infarer case? And I agree nothing touches a gen crystal except the price. It's something I want to do on a budget and I can live with rep AR that's fine and there's a bk 116610 on RG that's absolutely gorgeous for 700 but right now I'm tight on funds and can't do it. If there is a proper case to gen spec please do tell us all

You could try reading one of the several build threads I've posted, for starters... even with a gen crystal and relume that build shouldn't run you more than 8-900 in parts.

I'm just simply asking whats the correct case here. I was under the impression BK sold the right watch to begin with which is a N-factory ceramic
