Franken 18039 DayDate

Hi RWG

 

Just wanted to share the latest arrival, another MMM project - my second piece from Matt.

 

Gen dial/hands/crystal/crown/Swiss heart.  

 

Quite pleased with this one.  Now I just have to find the wrist time for it, lol.

Hope you enjoy the pics!

That's nice! I may have to spring for a DayDate in the ultra rare all SS as well! Haha

Wow.. that looks amazing!! I've been searching for a SS Daydate for ages. I'm quite new in this forum, mind if I ask how much and where did you get this beauty from?

Wow cool, is this mmm's case, band, bezel, day and date wheel overlay, etc? What movement did you use? Might need to start looking for DD dials again...

I ordered this last couple days from him can't wait.

Yup, Matt-sourced case/band/bezel/overlays.

 

Swiss movement and gen dial/crystal/crown.  My favourite thing about my Matt builds is how crisp/smooth the movements are.

 

Breaks my heart but have recently been seriously considering selling a bunch of frankens to fund a vintage gen, and this will be probably be one of them.  This black dial was a b*tch to source!

I think of liquidating in favor of a gen, at times, but where is the fun in that.
