    Hi guys! I could really use some help. Looking at a vintage connie.
    Dial has 3,6 and 9. Good patina. Original crystal.
    Cal 354 and the case back is a 2782.
    Is this a frankenwatch?

    ::facepalm2:: Pictures would really be helpful, also is case steel, gold...in general more info. According to the vintage database the case ref. 2782 came with the cal 354 starting in 1952. But is it original or a franken::confused2:: ? pictures and serial # would be more helpful...

    I'm looking at an SS Chevelle 2 door. 327 small block with a 4 speed and bucket seats. Is it original or a FrankenChevy?

    Or in simple terms, how would we know, we've never seen it.

    And Dennis, yes it's a Franken, the engine serial shows it was originally out of an Avanti cab body. Sorry.:(

    Looks original to me. Early constellation. Nice shape. Would put 'dibs' if you ever wish to trade (if you buy it of course, or if you don't) ;)
