Best cheap homage for a franken 16610

[Brucy]

Rightio! I currently have one project on the cards which is to fix my broken DG28 but....

I want to very slowly start to put together a franken 16610. What is the best cheap homage to start this off with? I already have a dial and bracelet, but will eventually pick up crown etc, movement not fussed about at the mo, but will someday get round to being serious about movement and hands, then maybe replace case etc. so the whole thing might turnaround just over a few years

What do you reckon? Am I better starting with a cheap rep or keeping it simple and going down the Parnis track?

Many thanks and enjoy the weekend

PM me a list of what you need specifically, and I will be happy to sort through my pile of parts etc. I'm happy to help if I can. This could save you the time and money of grabbing an homage or cheap rep.

Awesome! I have a set aftermarket hands, gen dial, gen strap and an old but good condition parnis case with crystal & cyclops, however I don't think the gen dial will work in the parnis case as its from a GMT ii, so I'm pretty sure the 16610 dial is a little on the small side that the start lol but you have to start somewhere hence I thought about a donor watch to gradually bionic

Much appreciated

Cheers

If you have a gen dial, I suggest getting a TC case and a modified/upgraded Yuki 3135. Please do not cut the gen dial's feet!
