starting a new franken... advice needed.

[taylormade]

I really want to get a breitling and seeing all of these amazing Frankens got me thinking that I might try and upgrade one myself. I really like the super avanger and would love to use that as my base, but I was wondering if anyone could shed light on which model(s) are easiest to source parts for. I'm new to the whole rep world and am reading as fast as I can, but any additional info would be great. thanks!

you have settle on a budget first.

How much would it take to get the watch cosmetically genuine? I know the movements are fairly expensive.

there is a difference between making it look cosmetically genuine and actually "genuine". Sourcing all genuine parts and putting it together technically will cost you almost the same price as buying the genuine thing - if not more.

Best way is to figure out what flaws you can't live with and correct those by getting genuine parts - you'll have to compromise here and there but it's a lot of fun as you collect the parts.

good luck
