Is that trusty time good as a td and could you franken that model? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FoxWilde 155 Posted May 14, 2019 Yes he is a good TD. Never had that model so I don’t know how well it takes gen parts. But your main issue is going to be the dial. No one makes it like gen, and gen is very pricey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would it be worth just getting a gen crown and bracelet and leave the dial and fade the bezel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure its got a gen dial, hands, DWO and bezel. It's not mine, it belongs to a moderator next door on RWI, but I've seen it first hand at a GTG - in fact that pic is of it on my wrist.

GingerApple 7,285 Posted May 16, 2019 Isn't it strange how different tastes can be. I wouldn't give you $20 for that franken. In fact, I wouldn't wear it for a day for less than $50. It makes me think of the very worst excesses of the 70s. And it reminds me of earwax, lots of earwax. One man's treasure and all that. I think that watch would cause me less discomfort if it was melted down into the base metal, cast into two enormous nails, with each nail then hammered through my eyeballs; at least I wouldn't have to see that fucking monstrosity ever again. Anyway, enjoy your journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
