Looks great. How did he doing matching the gen lume on dial with hands??

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.

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?

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

Not selling the Panda?

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.
