Superfranken Datejust Build - Complete!

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

Some of you may remember another member that posted up a bunch of parts to build a superfranken datejust... well after getting all of the parts together and sourcing a few additional items... MD2020 worked his majic and I now have this:

 

Gen 16200 case with smooth bezel

Gen saphire cyrstal

Gen high gloss Black dial
Gen crown
Gen Braclet (6251H with 55 endlinks, full 22 links and very little stretch)
Gen ETA 2824-2 Tag Heuer movement
Stilty movement ring - Rolex 3135 to ETA 2824-2 & 2892-2
Clark's Tudor ETA hands

 

I can honestly say that when I first put the watch on that it was a bit too small for me compared to my franken subs... but after wearing this watch for 2 days... I LOVE IT!!

It's a beauty. That smooth bezel is really growing on me.

 

They do feel awful light when wearing them, don't they. I mostly switch back and forth between DJ's, Sea Dweller and Planet Ocean and the DJ almost feel like it's not there.

Very nice DJ, like the simpel black dial with the stick markers.

Only thing I would change in the future is the bracelet. The 6251 with rolled links is waaay to old for a sapphire DJ, it belongs to a 1601 or 1675 ;)
