Tinitonsi Posted December 5, 2014 Report Posted December 5, 2014 Hello Guys After 3/4 long long months, I'm really really happy to present my Xmas gift. Maybe not the last one of my own gifts... Stay tuned It's my new: FRANKEN ROYAL OAK OFFSHORE WHITE THEMESThe Great watchmaker, the Best around here, Mr Domi did it the 1st time on a JF/J12 case. And, it has the following features:Gen dialGen tachymeter ringGen hour & minute handsServiced Baume & Mercier movement with Dubois-Depraz module Mickey's Gen-spec single side AR XtalDomi's Gen-spec AR cyclope Edge's Gen-spec DWThinner midcase Recessed crown positionThinner caseback He built a movement's case holder (as the Gen), etc... etc... etc... After this built, Domi told me the pros of the JF's case. This is what he said: "It's a gorgeous case, they make a Gen-spec construction. No need to recut the screws (after thinning the mid-case and the caseback), no need to thin the bezel's gasket), no need to mod the Gen tachy & dial, etc..." That's why he built that movement's case holder, same as the Gen. So THANK YOU Domi for this UNIQUE piece you made for me. I have also to say Thx to 3 great members and friends Daytona1984, Micasol & Guru for their assistance and support.And a special Thx to Mickey and Edge for the parts they gave me to complete this awesome piece. Thx for watching and reading... All comments are welcome PS: I put a creamy Safari tachy ring on it (not the silver one). And I really like it as is
508-Fanatic Posted December 6, 2014 Report Posted December 6, 2014 s t u n n i n g Congratulations!!! I wish the Dubois-Depraz module's were more readily available. Seriously amazing, can I ask what $ you have into it?

edgematic1 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Posted December 18, 2014 Very nice man! But why did you choose to paint the date window in black?
Tinitonsi Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Posted January 1, 2015 New year, new style... Updated to a Franken Rubberclad, Oops! Ceramiclad Gen Xtal on it, Thx Slaughterer62 (RWI) for that
panerai153 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 Beautiful, It's just too bad that there isn't a Domi class watchmaker here in the states. Pretty hard to fault his work. That's a great Christmas/New Years present.
