l3x Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 ...sort of... Something I like to share with you guys... So I got a very nice 002 off the sales section a few weeks back. I was lucky enough to find a gen 002 dial for it (thnx Sylar) and gen hands (thnx Serge). Originally I wanted to do a simple transplant but my plans changed. I ended up building a new watch due to me getting a hold of a gen C series case set (tnx BC) And here's the result: Gen everything ... I guess even the movement cause it's gen swiss And here's the other frankens The one on the left is SBRUBB's 111F. Gen dial and hands. The one on the right is what I transplanted into the 002 I bought off the sales section. Gen dial and hands. In a Fu case, etc... It's got hammy 892 movement inside enclosed in a B series caseback. Man this modding stuff is getting too fun. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectologist Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 How are you going to top that? Once you've gone franken, there's no turning back. An outstanding trio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Congrats on a very nice set of frankens. So here is the question? Do you get more pleasure out of wearing the gens or the frankens. I know what I get more pleasure from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l3x Posted April 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Thnx fellas. Same here Kruzer. A gen is a gen and nothing more. And stays mostly in the box until some special occasion happens, at least for me. But the frankens (even non-frankens), especially the one's you put together yourself, are priceless. I get totally satisfaction wearing these guys knowing you created them the way that you want. This whole thing was a learning excercise for me. The main reason I joined these communities. I've learned so much in the past 4 months :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you wear the completed project it has a story behind it. Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgodeep Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Three of the very best !!! Great watches and I'm on the same page - gens are nice but just really take cash to own, frankens take effort, patience and a bit of passion! Thanks for sharing!

l3x Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 thnx guys. @Toadtorrent - my daughter actually picked it for me - she cracks up with every post I make :-) @ FGD - I finally got a hold of one of your dials. It came with the watch. It was for a 201A. I'm really impressed with it. Very nice work my friend. I'm looking to transplant it into another special case. Cannot wait to complete it so I can have it on my wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
