dbane883 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 That's awesome. Nothing beats gen parts. As they say, "that looks better than gen!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Beautiful watch, and as close to perfect as you could ever want. Misiekped is the best Rolex watchmaker around and his work is beyond compare. He has built and worked on quite a few for me, andI have always been more than happy with his work. Mike built one for me almost exactly like yours, only difference I used the bracelet off my older BF that was better than the noob with "soft shoulders" Mine was a long term project, first gen crystal, then the bezel set, then the gen dial, wore that combo for a couple of years, and then decided to go all the way with the converted yuki 3135, gen hands, DW, crown. I also had to buy a noob case as the older BK wasn't up to what Mike wanted to work with. Now I have two, my almost gen as well as one he put together using the noob components in my old BK case. I'm giving it a test run right now, and if it is OK, It gets the noob bracelet, and then to the sales forum. WEill make a nice watch for someone who isn't interested in modding up one. As i said, that is a beautiful watch, and certainly a long term keeper. Only thing better, and maybe only like 1% would be a gen at twice the price! Like your user name, not many folks know what propofol really is!! Most only associate it with the drug that "killed" Michael Jackson.

jelliottz Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Wow! Absolutely beautiful, and a testament to building frankens. Less than half price of a gen? Absolutely worth every penny.
