wiseguy1481 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbh Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkstore Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Love the contrast between the silver and black. Striking. Welcome to the DJ club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Good work! Like the dial almost as much as my silver roman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1680 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RG31417 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky4691 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
