robertb Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Gen rubber strap came in today and it kicks a$$. The polished SS band was a bit much for an already flashy watch, the rubber strap tones it down considerably and gives the SA a perfect blend of bling and sport. Love the look! Noe this piece is done... gen dial + lello dw + gen hands would make it perfect but I'll stop here. Gen rubber strap Gen bezel Chieftang AR The Zigmeister lume The Zigmeister serviced movement Professionally refinished by yours truly. Stunning combo and I can't stop looking at it! Please excuse the little beige fuzzies, they are from my fingerprint removing cloth. Too lazy to re-shoot the photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodwc Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I will be fully honest here when I say that I do not like rubber straps, but I have to admit that the gen Breit. rubber strap certainly does this watch justice. It takes the eye away from the flashy bracelet directly to the watch itself. Along with all the other mods. and especially the jet black dial all make this piece a real stunner. Very nice indeed.

andreww Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Curious as to why you didn't throw a lello datewheeel on while it was in for service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Another great for you Rob, grats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta8088 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Looks fantastic! I need to get mine finished. I agree that a gen Pro Diver or calf is the way to go with one of these. The rep bracelet is a weak link and going with a gen strap tones it down just right anyway. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta8088 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Curious as to why you didn't throw a lello datewheeel on while it was in for service? Probably didn't have one. I waited to long to stock up on them as well and know I'm going to have to pick and choose which projects will get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shultz Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 @ rob May I ask you whether the bezel swap is an easy fix? I am owning a brandnew gen bezel and I am considering a rep purchase to build up a Franken SA as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
