Moondustesp 136 Posted June 26, 2018 So after selling my beloved 16014 franken built by Rolie I instantly regretted it. So I have another build underway. Will update as I go forward with the build. Plan is to be all genuine apart from movement, hands and bracelet. I gathered most of the parts needed just waiting on the movement and bracelet then i can begin assembly. http:// Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moondustesp 136 Posted June 26, 2018 So far have put case parts through an ultrasonic cleaner and changed o rings. Done a make shift water resistance test and let no water in. So far so good. http:// Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not That Rich 21 Posted June 26, 2018 Looking forward to seeing it mate, and sorry for buying the last one, it does get lots of wrist time though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This build will be more or less the same as yours but I am using an engine turned bezel which I don’t believe is correct for the 16014 but I have seen gens for sale with them so who knows?? Just makes it a bit different from my last one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
