lataule Posted October 17, 2016 Report Posted October 17, 2016 Hello all. This post for a quick follow up of MyManMatt s work. I registered here to get in touch with him, i m active on rwi and thought it d be easier to settle me built here. After long exchanges with matt, probably boring for him, i asked him to build me a 18038 day date. What i asked for? Black dial / yellow gold case / champagne DWOs Matt told me he already had the parts to make it. I was supposed to send him the money a week after our talks, waiting for some funds. Me money arrived later. Meanwhile, Matt decided to built the thing, thinking i let this project down. He sent me a message with the finished product : what a stunner. Money should be wired on his account tomorrow, and i cant wait to get this beauty. I will post heavy pics when i get it. I decided to make this quick post to show it and encourage people to go with this passionate lad.
lataule Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Posted October 17, 2016 I ll take very nice pictures when i get the watch
irolexu Posted October 17, 2016 Report Posted October 17, 2016 Matt is an incredible watch maker and an even more incredible friend! You're in good hands with Matt!
panerai153 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Posted October 18, 2016 Matt is an incredible watch maker and an even more incredible friend! You're in good hands with Matt!I agree 100%. I consider Matt a friend, and a true gentleman. He is without a doubt the "go to" guy for Rolex builds. Matt lives in what I would consider the Rolex capital of the world. No doubt if Texas was to have a "state watch", like a "state flower or song" Rolex would win in a landslide. Because of this there is a huge demand for Rolex watches in the area. Matt has created a very nice niche, providing high quality watches using lots of genuine parts. He has built several very nice watches for me, and I would recommend him with no hesitation.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1
demax Posted October 19, 2016 Report Posted October 19, 2016 You are not alone lataule. I registered a few months ago for the exact same reasons. Cannot express enough what it meant to finally lay my hands on a Franken build by MMM. The smooth transactions with him encouraged me in the first place to become more active on this forum and `give something back to the community`. 1

I would love to see pictures when you get a chance. @mymanmatt, would you consider a build thread of one of your daydates. I love your work.
lataule Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Posted October 23, 2016 I ll post pictures tonight. Matt is currently doing his best to fit me a plastic crystal! He really is a modder that will try to accomodate your desires the best he can. 1
lataule Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Posted October 24, 2016 Here are the first pics Matt sent me. Watch was finished... But as i am a pain in the [censored] and wanted an early 18038 with an acrylic crystal, matt found me one and is now machining the bezel to fit it. Once again, the built looks gorgeous and Matt is really doing his best to accomodate my needs. I cant wait to get it. I will also have a lovely franken 5513 gilt PCG back from servicing very soon. Here is the built : - Matt case / bezel / crown / bracelet - Gen dial - Gen hands - Sapphir crystal soon to be replaced by an acrylic one - Champagne DWO's
QueTip Posted October 24, 2016 Report Posted October 24, 2016 Wow now this looks amazing! Great piece! I'm truly jealous.
ogladio Posted October 26, 2016 Report Posted October 26, 2016 Stunning! Good choice with plexi, will lift it even a notch higher. The day-date is a true classic.
Joshj33 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Posted October 26, 2016 Watch looks stunning mate. I've got a datejust build from Matt and it really is the donkeys danglers. Not just that but what a top bloke he is, I can't recommend him highly enough and I can't wait to buy another watch from him already. J
lataule Posted October 27, 2016 Author Report Posted October 27, 2016 Updates : Matt aged the lume, watch is gonna be ready to be shipped. Cant wait
ilikewatchestoo Posted May 31, 2017 Report Posted May 31, 2017 That's an awesome Fraken! How would you say the weight compares to a gen? I would think it would be pretty damn close with all the gen parts and bracelet. Would love to hear your thoughts!
ilikewatchestoo Posted June 2, 2017 Report Posted June 2, 2017 Also, how is the watch and gold holding up? Any updates?
