username here Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 Specs are:Gen Parts include: case, crystal, dial, hands (correct tritium), bezel, crown/tube, pushers. Movement was a NOS zenith and was fully converted to a correct 2 pull system with NOS Rolex parts. Sporting a cool nato strap!On the lookout for correct box/accessories for this one. 1
vapplebomb Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 Congrats on this pretty one! Great build.
themannier Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 Gen case, waouh ! How did you found a gen daytona case ?
QueTip Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 Beautiful piece man, wear it in good health!
username here Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Posted October 15, 2015 Gen case, waouh ! How did you found a gen daytona case ?a member here . . . and it was the same price as phong cases! It's in GREAT shape- 'U' serial number. I built a few daytonas and now that I have a gen case model I think this one stays in the family.
droptopman Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 Awesome build. That is truly a franken.
username here Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Posted October 16, 2015 Very nice. I like the lumi dialSent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk
508-Fanatic Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 I think he means the 4030 conversion from the Zenith column wheel design maybe? Idk That is a gorgeous watch, I've really been wanting a proper Daytona franken
username here Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Posted October 16, 2015 yep. often the zenith movement isn't fully converted so that the date is removed. it's a small thing, but changing this makes it even more correct. That is a gorgeous watch, I've really been wanting a proper Daytona franken . . . there's just something about a daytona.

So you had the 2 pull system removed then right? As the gen only has one pull?Interesting that you bring this up. Misiekped told me that the zenith movement I am using would still have the 2 pull system though the date changes on the 2nd pull, not first.
username here Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Posted October 16, 2015 No. The zenith originally has a 3 pull. Mike is putting these together now?Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk ok I see, then yeah I have the same 2 pull system. Mike did me a big favor and I dont want to speak for him but during my build he told me that this would be his last zenith conversion.
dieselpower Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 Stunning work. Beautiful piece. Hats off to you.
