irolexu Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nixmazda Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 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). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 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.

irolexu Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
