wiseguy1481 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 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!! 1
concepta Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 Amazing Love the vintage business look! Wear with pride!
kbh Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 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.
jerkstore Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 Love the contrast between the silver and black. Striking. Welcome to the DJ club!
tomhorn Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 Good work! Like the dial almost as much as my silver roman.
1680 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 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
RG31417 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 Love your DJ. My first rep and gen Rlx are DJ (1603), still have it. Just curious, your DJ crystal's cyclob is AR? I can't tell from the pics, Thanks.
wiseguy1481 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Posted May 23, 2013 Thanks guys for the comments... @ RG, no the cyclops is not AR'd.
ceocorona Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 In my short time on the forums I have to say you have some of the best builds in your collection.
jpz5142 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 I must say, although I'm not a fan of black dialed dress watches this DJ is really nice! Nice job!
devilseam Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Fantastic, I missed out on these parts when they were for sale. You did a great job mate, PM me if it ever ends up for sale!
rocky4691 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 That's definitely a stunner, love the black and silver combo. I'd be proud to wear that one any day. Beautiful work.
