id_mac Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hello, to whom might I direct a contract work request for a Franken IWC 3714-31? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Good question. I know Concepta did some projects in the past and so did Texki. I know Texki eventually scammed a lot of people. I do believe Concepta still sources gen parts but does not build anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmarin.72 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 If you can source the parts then you will find someone to built it for youTough task though i am afraid since parts are rareYour best chance would be if something appears in the sales sectionGLJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Concepta and Hacra are the ones that can supply IWC parts. They are getting extremely difficult to source so patience is required for this project. However, you may be out of luck with the -31. I am fairly certain that the dial is no longer available at the moment Edited March 31, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Ive always loved the style of this model, but havent bought it yet. Whats the gen going for now a days? Your best bet if you want to build one is to try to slowly source the parts and then just have it assembled. Im not sure how Concepta got his hands on all those gen parts, unless he had someone at IWC hooking him up but you might be able to find the parts you want through other fourms and ebayUsed gen is about $4500 for the older models, $5000 for newer ones. New gen from AD is about $6000 if you shop aroundSent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
id_mac Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Thanks for all your feedback! I think you're right. Finding all the different parts will be extremely difficult. I found a japanese website (baghall.net), selling the IWC 3714-31. Judging from the pictures, the quality looks pretty good. Also, it has cal.79350 movement and a strap that looks well crafted. Might order it from this site and give you a short review. Edited March 31, 2013 by id_mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) If you're serious about this watch and could care less about money and don't want to wait, here is one that seems like its still for sale:http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=188375If you opt for a gen, I'd recommend an AD or boutique. Unless you really trust that website, better to play it safe Edited March 31, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you really trust that website, better to play it safe Isn't that too pricey considering it doesnt have a gen case and crystal? Not sure really. The gen has case, crown, hands, etc... all in white gold. The ardoise dial is also much pricer than the other dials. This franken should definitely be pricier due to the dial alone. But the gen -31 white gold crown and ardoise index ring is more expensive than the gen stainless steel crown and black index ring. Not sure which gen parts this franken has.

sneed12 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Isn't that too pricey considering it doesnt have a gen case and crystal? It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Considering it's been for sale for 6 months, it seems that the market does indeed think it's a bit pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
