My Franken 114060LV

It has been quite a while since I have posted anything on any forum but thought I would share my latest completed project.  I started this one with the hopes of building a nice no date franken Submariner.  The hardest step by far was finding the correct case to start the project.  I knew that I wanted to use a Noob V6S case for the SA3135 movement and bracelet but finding one proved to be quite difficult.  I was lucky enough to finally find one in very good condition.  I was initially going to use a Yuki 3135 converted to a 3130 but found a genuine 3130 movement for a very reasonable price, so I jumped on it.  I already had the hands so the next steps were finding and collecting the rest of the parts.  I was almost finished with the project and was about to finish it when I was offered the chance to buy a genuine ceramic LV insert.  I jumped on that one too and so my 114060LN quickly became a 114060LV.  I know that there doesn't exist one coming out of the Rolex factory (yet), but have seen other genuine owners adding a black dial to their hulk's to make a 116610LV.  But enough of my dribble.....here are some pics of the final product.

One note I would add is that I would eventually like to add the genuine bezel, crystal retaining ring, and bezel ratcheting mechanism parts.  Finding those is the challenge though....

Build List:

Noob V6S midcase, bezel, and bracelet
Preik display caseback
Genuine dial
Genuine hands
Genuine crystal
Genuine 3130 movement
Genuine crown and tube
Genuine green ceramic insert
Genuine spring bars
