Guest RiverwindMDS Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 It was already posted in Ubi's Franken thread but I wanted to give him an own thread. Here are the pics
torresp Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 Congrats, nice watch. Is the 116520 original?
Guest RiverwindMDS Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 Congrats, nice watch. Is the 116520 original? Congrats to you, you are the first one asking that question. I don't know why nobody asked it? Yes, the 116520 is original.
Guest RiverwindMDS Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 Sure looks like mine... You have one? Is it black faced or white? Or you have different version not ss?
torresp Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 SS white fat hands but thinking to buy a black dial and change it (but no sure, all my other watches are black dialed).
Guest RiverwindMDS Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 SS white fat hands but thinking to buy a black dial and change it (but no sure, all my other watches are black dialed). For the 116520 I like more the black dial. But I found only the white dial... Is yours gen i suppose.
torresp Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 Yes, it's gen. When I bough it I tried both and found black dial more difficult to read. Actually I miss the sport look of the black dial
Guest RiverwindMDS Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 Yes, it's gen. When I bough it I tried both and found black dial more difficult to read. Actually I miss the sport look of the black dial Now I remember, the first post I read here was yours comparison between the real and the rep 116520...
torresp Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 Yes, I remember that. May I ask if your franken was build by yourself or bought from a dealer?
Guest RiverwindMDS Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 Yes, I remember that. May I ask if your franken was build by yourself or bought from a dealer? Builded by parts collected on the bay, dealers, ecc... Serviced and putted the hands by my watchmaker.
torresp Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 I must start this proyect one of this days, how much in time and money?
Guest RiverwindMDS Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 I must start this proyect one of this days, how much in time and money? 3 or 4 months and like 3000 euros.
