My Franken Day-Date

[omegap7]

hey all,

 

didnt feel like spending 10k for this watch so i went with a Sillix "high quality" version and added a gen dial and crown. The crown it came with tarnished and generally looked like [censored]. In order to add the dial I had to remove the feet and glue, in order to add the crown I had to install a gen tube, surprisingly the case accepted this.

 

whatcha think?

Wow! Looks excellent! I wish I could pull off a gold Day Date. I'm surprised the case took the tube without re-tapping.

Silix is a very long-term trusted dealer .. He has 2 different web sites. One site is for cheap and cheerful reps, and the other site is for the more expensive reps  http://www.silix-prime.co/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=115_292

Looks good half the battle is the dial you done it in one sweep

Can I ask how much did this cost you in total? Can you break down the cost please,
