Frankening a 116520 SS Daytona - Looking for recommendations!

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to franken my ARF Daytona.

My build is currently hovering around the D-Serial (single 27, 34 tick), no rehaut engravings, 3d hands.

I had just ordered a Gen Mark III Dial, which is on it's way to me.

My questions:

  • Hands - Which hands are most accurate to gen? I'd like to go gen on hands, but it's just very tough to justify spending that much on hands and have to make them fit the 7750. I will go with Gen hands if I decide to go with a Gen or Zenith movement. For now, any recommendations for gen-spec (green lume) 7750 hands would be great.
  • Pushers - Anybody try WSO, Phong, Minh, etc? Which pushers have the correct shape/height/thickness that would fit the ARF? The ARF is too thick, but i'd rather replace them instead of sanding/filing it down.

Hoping that someone can give me input on building the best franken ARF :beer3:

How so? The cheapest Gen Daytona is $10,340 (as of today, October 2017). I'm keeping the build under $1500.

Goodluck with the build. Look forward to seeing it :kidding:

The Best But on limited budget... interesting concept.

Think you need to join Repgeek.

Would struggle to do the ‘best’ Datejust on this budget.
