amv8 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Can an AP 15400 be frankenized? I just purchased my first rep 15400 miyota and once I learn the in's and out's of how to make a franken watch I'd like to build this one out. Prob with Gen Dial, gen movement if even possible, etc...

mm..mm Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I think most franken are based on an 42mm offshore. The take a while to built an parts have become more scarce. I have yet to see one for a 15400. If you come across any 15400 dial, please let me know, I would love to build a franken of that model as well.

Guest Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I have seen ONE 15400. One. Yes the parts are impossible to find. The offshore is much easier because back in the day there was less restrictions on who could order spare parts from AP. Then they wised up and the parts are rapidly drying up. All you can find now are some dials and tachy rings. Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martijnp Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 As long as you can find the parts, you can make a franken but the parts for the 15400 are very rare and hard to find, I don't know if I ever saw a franken 15400.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
