The Ultimate 24a franken

Recommended Posts

It all started 7 years ago when I sold a minty 24a mid-case with xtal (first pic of the case hoard I bought off ebay, 24a case upper left next to a 28a case). I then spent the next couple of years asking myself "WTF??? why did I sell it???" I eventually got over it until I saw it again built up into the watch you see posted here.

When the chance to purchase it came up yesterday, I jumped on it.

The build consists of...

• Gen mid case
• Gen crystal
• Gen dial
• Gen service hands
• Gen datewheel
• Gen cg
• Swiss 7750 movement
• Rep caseback

Both of the previous owners took exceptional care of the watch, I'm grateful for that as the case in original condition was a rare find.

Here are a couple of pics...

As soon as I got outside, the hands charged up instantly just as all Luminova sub hands do. Unfortunately clean, uncorroded tritium hands are almost impossible to find.

 

Tried this strap today and it will stay on the watch for awhile...
