This really can’t go in the worst Redials as there is just so much going on with this one. My hat’s off to the cobbler who put this one together.

And may I add there are already 42 bidders at this point- I expect an “is this original” post in the near future.

 

Other than the wrong hands and crown, what makes it a franken? Obviously it's not original but I'm not seeing this horrible franken. As with anything around here, I reserve the right to be incorrect.

 

Request granted...

 

Dial script is incorrect for the reference, so they got the movement right...1 out of 4 ain’t bad

 

Redial does not equal franken.

 

Jeez, I was just having a laugh at how nothing but the movement on this watch is correct. But they managed to put a whole watch together from parts, and it’s not half bad looking actually. Getting nothing but 1 component correct, a Franken makes in my book.

 

As a note, I made the mistake of buying a Franken of this exact reference so my radar was on when I saw it. Burn me once....

 

It’s a pass for sure.

 

The case and back is correct, as is the movement. Crowns are replaced all the time during service, as are hands, if the originals aren't available (not implying that's the case here). As I said, it's far from original (and a definite pass) but hardly the ultimate franken that you claim.
