scotty Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Beautiful!! A dumb question. Does the gen dial have any lume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Daytona1984 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 the lume on the gen dial and hands are quite poor due to the black lume which is used... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theflyingdutchman Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 VERY nice...master making piece! And what did this cost you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I believe the Safari is going to be my next purchase. I've been looking at a lot of Safari photos, and this is the best yet!! beautiful watch and wonderful photos. I'm sure you have a fortune in this one, considering all the gen parts and the bulletproof movement. Still only a fraction of the cost of a gen. I'm still very much an AP noob, but with Rolex It's pretty much not considered a franken unless the dial is genuine, yours definitely qualifies for super franken status, for sure.

oberblender Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 [censored] amazing! Damn... I somehow feel that I need one of those, but can't quite justify to spend that money on a franken. Amazing work... somehow it is even more special than a gen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchpt Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I also have a question about the movement. I always thought you needed the 2892 with the dd module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Daytona1984 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 the most important part is the dd module. as long as you find a movement which can carry the dd module, everything is fine I also have a question about the movement. I always thought you needed the 2892 with the dd module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
