Project Completed: Super Franken Daytona 116520

All,
So I have decided to take on a project to build the Ultimate Modern Daytona Franken 116520.

I have seen plenty of Zenith Daytona's but nothing in the realm of 116520. So I hope you learn from my experience and what goes into a build like this.

Here are the parts I was planning on using

Gen Parts:
- Genuine 4130 Movement
- Genuine 116520 Black Dial
- Genuine Crown and Tube
- Genuine Crystal with LEC @ 6
- Genuine Hands - all 6 of them
- Open display case back 
Rep Parts:
- JF Factory Midcase 23J
- BP Bracelet as it seems like it has a better fitment than the stock JF Bracelet - I might go with a genuine bracelet but I am personally not a fan of scratches so might do a leather strap with custom end links.

Now when it comes to helping me with the build, I only trust        [MENTION=29193]misiekped[/MENTION] with my rollies builds.

Big thanks to someone I consider a good friend and a big asset to our community - @misiekped

Lovely! A work of art, my compliments! How did you get the genuine movement? It's so nice!

Thank you. My friend sourced it for me.

Though I could have easily bought a gen but I wanted to see if I could build one. Luckily I ended up building something that had all the ✔ things in it.
