bobandshawn Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hi guys, This is the culmination of over a year's search. Originally this was built with a gold dial, but the gold was too overpowering on an all steel case set. I finally found the perfect dial (for me). It's hard to tell the color because it varies by the lighting. It's kind of a creamy vintage, faded yellow, silvery dial with Gold indices. The gold hands complete the look and it matches my two-tone wedding band perfectly (OCD is an expensive disease). All Gen except the Swiss ETA.

daovto Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Very classy build, and I dare say worth the time and patience you source all the required parts... Is that gen movement left on the list though ;-)Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobandshawn Posted September 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Thanks, but no. I build all my own watches as a hobby/talking point. Another $1500 for a gen movement and I could buy the real deal from a AD and have all the advantages that a gen would have... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I think the main advantage of the franken DJs is that they have a Swiss eta and not a 3035 or the 3135- mine are over 10 years old and the etas are doing fine! Servicing those Rolex movements always costs more and frankly they don't hold up as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4GTR Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I really like that, and the idea that it complements your ring is all the more special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
