ubiquitous Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Posted May 23, 2013 Thank you for the kind words, gang; much appreciated! The project took about a month or so to track down the parts, and I'll admit that it was a little more difficult than I initially thought it would be. Not as difficult as finding vintage Patek parts, per se... But I had a few of my usual sources looking and they were a bit surprised that LV parts weren't so easy to locate (it took a little more work than they were expecting). But patience did prevail however, and before long I was able to strike off one item after another from my checklist. The project is currently in a wearable state and I could consider it completed, but I don't think I'm quite finished yet; contemplating a few more changes Stunning work my friend, complete respect mate. Is that another build of yours, or is that a gen Daytona in your photos? Thank you sir coolfire is correct; the Daytona is one of my first builds from several years back, and technically, it's not mine It does, however belong to my son, who will receive it when the time is right (maybe after he graduates). Thankfully, that's a long, long ways away, so until then I'll look after it on his behalf 2
ubiquitous Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Posted May 23, 2013 Now, where's that wristy? LOL Awesomeness! Here's a wristie for you, J 2
sgtguk Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 Gorgeous pictures of a beautiful build very nice !
automatico Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 Nice Kermit! "I like the fact that the TC case takes a 3135." +1 It would be nice if more cases were oem spec on the inside...MBK for instance. It is a LOT easier to adapt an Eta to an oem spec case than to adapt a genuine movement to an Eta/DG case.

pam007 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 May I ask what bracelet and clasp you are using? I'm assuming a TC V3 Bracelet for the SEL fitment. Gen or TC Clasp?
FxrAndy Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 Nice work finding all those parts at that price UBI, enjoy!!
concepta Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 Awesome as always! Finding a 3135 at 900...it´s a steal! Hope you enjoy it! It´s a awesome watch that gets a lot of attention! Sold my gen many years ago but have owned several rep versions since! I always seem to keep come back to the LV... Might be time for a new franken Just need to finish my two 16520 builds before
ubiquitous Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Posted May 23, 2013 Thanks, gents. Just snapped a couple of random misc. shots... May I ask what bracelet and clasp you are using? I'm assuming a TC V3 Bracelet for the SEL fitment. Gen or TC Clasp? For now, I'm just using the TC 93250 combo; think it's essentially v3 links with a v2 clasp. That is one of the things I'll be changing up at some point...
jeff g Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 Yea right R. Just a few random shots. Did someone say 'Perfect build'...what's new???

ceocorona Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 The LV has grown on me... Now the hunt begins to find/build a Franken. You have created a beautiful timepiece.
