jcagara08 31 Posted May 29, 2021 Well well well if it ain't another infamous franken Omega Bond 2531.80 SMP... This is another one that has been in the works for the longest time since my acquisition of my first ever rep SMP 40th anniversary edition back in 2009; The OG LOOK (not yet frankened, tried to bleach the bezel LOL) Bleached bezel and Gen Dial Bezel insert from my rep SMP Chrono diver and the rep chrono diver's bracelet Let say I made a big mistake and totally have regretted selling an almost perfect SMP franken from last year from the legend @exelonman, I guess seller's remorse also do exist especially among us watch collectors. @kernow is the lucky bugger(no pun intended) who stole my watch LOL mate you are the reason why this build exist! cheers! I hope to see the watch in tip top perfect shape. I don't mind the inaccuracy of the case, the bracelet, the thickness, the He Valve position (epoxied the MFer and the He Valve not even turning Fook me dead!), the beat up and faded bezel, the sunken lume pip (will prolly buy an aftermarket bezel from wholesaleoutlet990 and mod the pearl on it). I care about the total fun and excitement in building these things in which is very very challenging but satisfying at the same time. Gen 1503/825 bracelet is on its way upon writing this. shot outs to; @K4jun for the updated build guide @Specter1000 for this SMPc case that I am using now @Mr. Pap for this dial and also the comprehensive build guide @R2D4 also for the OG build guide @By-tor for the OG level inspirations! PS I am still contemplating (if the money allows me ATM) in continuing this build using an MKS/MKF case and perhaps a gen caseback, an anti magnetic cover, gen case tube and crown but of course only time can tell... Yeah too much banter right I know! Now on to the images and thanks for looking; 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
