cc33 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Ever since I sold my Franken 6265 I've missed it more than I ever thought I would. I was going to make a 1655 as my next project, I even aquired a gen service dial hands and bezel for it but decided that I rather have a daytona again. So I sold those parts and started buying up the 6265 parts that I need. I have finally got it all together and am just waiting for phong to get back from his trip on oct 1st to get it all put together. Here's a preview.. Specs: phong case, new gen p302 pushers, gen bezel, gen 702 crown/tube (threads are good but seems really used and over polished), tropic 21 sd and beveled (not sure which I'll use) roamer v726 movement and a gen big red dial that has seen better days but is original and has lots of character imo. I think I've found gen hands but we'll see, I don't have them yet. I am really excited for phong to get back and get it all assembled for me, my usual watch maker can't handle retaps..

dieselpower Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Looking good! Can't wait to see the results. If I may be so bold - given the price of the ingredients don't you think it would be worth spending a few $$ on a better crown? As you said that one is waaay over polished. Just my 2 cents.

jtiis Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Still kick myself every now and then for not buying your last offering. Happy to watch this unfold... or... fold up as the case, crown and movement may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceocorona Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Definitely going to be an exciting watch to see built! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
