Paneraiguy000 0 Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) So I sold my LV project to a buddy and started a 6 digit project. Going almost all the way this time around! Nothing that no one has ever seen but here's what it's going to be: - Brand new V7 Noob case set & bracelet - Gen dial - Gen H/M/S hands - Gen bezel assembly - Gen bezel insert - Gen 295-C12-C1 crystal - Gen reversers - Gen date wheel - SH3135 Still debating on getting a gen crown if I can find a good deal on one. Had my buddy Grimlock install the bezel and crystal. I'll service the movement and finish off the rest of the watch.

GingerApple 7,272 Posted February 11, 2018 Wow, that's a lot of Gen! Cha-Ching! Should be amazing when it's done though. What's the approx build cost? Feel free to tell me to mind my own business... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paneraiguy000 0 Posted February 11, 2018 Thanks for all kind words! 5 hours ago, GingerBubba said: Wow, that's a lot of Gen! Cha-Ching! Should be amazing when it's done though. What's the approx build cost? Feel free to tell me to mind my own business... Mind your own damn business!!!! Haha JK, its at $3300 now. That's not including the labor to service the movement which i'm doing myself. I love how the light reflects off the insert. A gen insert and/or bezel assembly is well worth the money, IMO.

wpaainternet 0 Posted February 11, 2018 fantastic work.... how does one source a bezel assembly and insert.... I have a lovely 116610LV but the bezel, even with the better paint job looks sad.... any info would be vastly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paneraiguy000 0 Posted February 13, 2018 Woohoo! Reversers came in today. These are a must for any SH3135 users. They make the winding feel so much closer to gen. The crappy Chinese reversers are just that - crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JBG007 0 Posted February 22, 2018 I’ve thought about this same project for a watch. Please excuse me I’m new to the forum and rep watches but would love to get a project like this going. Is the noob v7 your top choice for a case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

androme 0 Posted February 26, 2018 Congrats dude! Feel like I'm looking at myself! I just sold my franken TC v7x and am gonna superfranken my V6S instead. Got SH3135 already, gen DW, gen insert on v6s bezel (was same price as insert on its own so though saves me having to get it stuck on), gen hands on way from Sub007, just waiting on gen dial, xtal and tube from Sub and another source. As for the SH, have gen parts 600, 614, 623 and 625 on the way from US to UK after occb2 was going through the much needed part upgrades for SH3135's - ideally 600 main plate, date finger and date mount. Gonna look at those reversing wheels you mentioned too, thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
