Haven't seen too many of these:

 

GEN Dial

GEN Handset
GEN crown & tube

GEN case, caseback, pushers

TAKA crystal, AR'd by Dominico

TWB alligator strap

GEN IWC 21mM springbars

Either Rep or GEN IWC buckle

 

Swis ETA Valjoux movement

ETA Day and Datewheels

 

Hardest thing was acquiring the dial and the handset.

how much entire build set you back?

Original purchase - €385

GEN Dial - USD100

GEN Handset - USD195

GEN crown & tube - €200

GEN case, caseback, pushers- ~€490 - I paid €490 for the case set, including crystal and caseback. The crystal and caseback went towards another build. The crystal IMO is probably the biggest cost, so I'd say this was probably closer to 300 than 500/

TAKA crystal, AR'd by Dominico - Came with original purchase

TWB alligator strap - Came with original purchase

GEN IWC 21mM springbars - USD7

Either Rep or GEN IWC buckle - Came with original purchase

 

Swis ETA Valjoux movement - Original came with A7750. Harvested from another rep (where I swapped in a gen movement)

ETA Day and Datewheels - Same as above

 

Assembly, with speedy G, cost me $70, since I waited to do everything at once.

You did really well, some of those parts were a bargain!

 

Yeah...I felt like the case set, as well as the original purchase, was a little too much. Especially since the original purchase only had an A7750 in it.

 

Gen dial was a nice deal.  I see it has some character to it. 

 

Gen springbars are $7? I thought someone was selling it for $50 or so.

 

Yeah, that "character" definitely caused a lower price.

 

Wow, at 50, there is no way I would have gotten gen springbars...after all, non-gen springbars will hold up just as well, and there is probably no way to tell that the springbar is non-IWC without a very close inspection.
