irolexu Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Also I have small wrists so I am not particularly looking for something massive and in charge just something very accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie-monster Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 For the best OTB rep, I'd recommend the mark XVI instead. Or maybe one of the Portofino Automatics if you're into dressier watches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 What's a Franken 3717 usually run at? There was a sales thread somewhere recently for 1700 euros Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 You can buy the gen for $4000 USD or less so I would stay away from gen movement, dial, etc. frankens. I evaluated all the options and decided to go with an older Swiss 7750 movement, gen dial and hands for 400 Euro's or so (not sure they are available anymore though) and declared victory.
