The hand lume is a tad 'off' but you only notice it after the lume starts to fade a bit. I'm not sure if he touched it at all. I was thinking about "turbo charging" it myself, but I'm going to hold off. I have a few people interested in buying the watch from me already. I'll let one of them monkey with it. :-)

Overall, I'm real pleased with how it came out. I was thinking of keeping it, but I really don't need 3 Franken-ROOs. Heck, I may not even need 2.

In your one pic it looks like the dial is not flush with the tach ring?

Did u buy that franken panda off a member? Or had it made by domi too?

[Guest Daytona1984]

nice :-) domi is simply the best!

[jpohl402]

Love it!

[CptTripps]

I'm getting ready to list this watch for sale. I just don't see myself wearing it as much as I thought I would.

Shame that I waited so long for it...but that's the name of the game, right?

[Motoman4540]

Beautiful! Out of curiosity, how long did it take to get back?

Some guy called andyaudi is looking for Franken Roos. Drop him a PM. May be other forums though

Not selling the Panda?

[martijnp]

Wow what an amazing build!

[CptTripps]

It was an orchestration for sure. After he had it, I think it was about 8 weeks...but it took about 8 to get it to him. Not being able to ship directly to Germany was a big issue.

[devilseam]

It finally arrived then Doug! Congrats mate, looks a beauty.

[retiredjerk]

How do we contact domi!?

[armanou-pascal]

I visited Domi in his studio at home ...he is very busy and actually he moves house atm ... so expect a long waiting period !

I just noticed something, looking back at this thread - i know its a gen dial, but arent the subdials supposed to be grey?

[Jordanf1]

Almost like Mine

 

[Dreamer]

did you sell it like planned? 

[Eppenger]

Excellent watches, I wanna have one.

[nlnlnlnene]

Is this for sale?

Anyone have a franken AP for sale?

[CptTripps]

I didn't end up selling it...or the Panda I have.

 

I'm wearing this one a lot more than I thought I would, and the Panda has a small scratch in the crystal so I need to get that replaced before I sell it.

 

On the dials: I thought they were supposed to be grey too, but these are clearly white. I'm also 100% sure that it's an authentic dial, so I may have something special/rare here. No clue.

I'm sorry but what does LWO movement means
