w.genzo Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 My girlfriend loves the white dial 16200, but when I discovered it, I had just finished a 16014 dj with a blue dial, so she started wearing that one. When I told her that I had decided to sell that piece (to lazarini ) it had already grown on her and she didn't want to let it go anymore.. So I had literally to steal it from her wrist, I felt guilty, so I had to start another project.. well I love to say "I have a reason to start another project!" It was quite difficult to find the exact milky dial, but I was lucky enough, and the icing on the cake was a gen 78360 brand new bracelet for a fair price. Thanks to Stilty and kelster for your help! Genuine 16200 case Genuine crown Genuine crystal Genuine datewheel Genuine 78360 bracelet +gen springbars Genuine dial 2892-A2 ETA movement, 3 wheels replaced Tudor hands Of course, Stilty's spacer ring That's how it started: And here the result, will she like it?

By-Tor Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 It's a beauty. "Will she like it"? I don't know, but I definitely like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 If your girlfriend does not like it, I am sure you can find another (girlfriend) who will. Great work. Which gen Rolex datewheel did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Fleischer Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 its a beauty! its more gen than franken. is it 36mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Very nice w.genzo! Were the three wheels to give you more height to clear the date wheel? I'm thinking it's a 3135 datewheel, btw. I love the white dial- just really looks fine with all of that ss around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilty Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 What a beauty! Nice job. Nothing beats genuine parts! I'm sure she will love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w.genzo Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Thanks guys! The datewheel is a 3135 one, and I replaced the hour wheel, cannon pinion and forth wheel because the standard 2892-A2 doesn't clear the hourmarkers. After that, the custom spacer ring makes all the rest sooo quick. I also prefer the white dial on SS rolex watches (daytona, DJ, explorer I) and I also chose my gen 116200 in white.. both are 36mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurelienconiglio Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 hi! really nice watch! picture of the movement please? thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Search is a beautiful thing. Might want to try it, instead of bringing up multiple old threads (this one's from 2008) asking people who probably don't still own the watch for pictures. For example, this is the best DJ thread I have seen, http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/158976-diy-how-to-make-a-frankenjust/ Whole set of instructions on what to do with the movement ring.

aurelienconiglio Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 asking people on old thread is an act of searching. i found this topic you just sent me as well. no need to be arrogant with your "searching is a beautifull thing you might want to try it" coz guess what? i don't give a f... about what you think. i am just looking for information, and i don't think i'm bothering anyone here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Well, the information you said you needed was in that thread, and also in several threads by Stilty using his rings. And since you don't "give a f... about what you think", I guess I won't bother cracking the case of my franken and shoot the picture I would have if you said you still needed it after reviewing the other threads. Good luck with your search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
