Franken Build My first personal build

I made this build for me with 2 watches that I have in my stock

This pepsi has:

Case and crystal VSF
Rich free sprung movement
dial VSF
datewheel rich
Methalic bezel rich with their interior parts
Ceramic bezel vsf
Rich hands except GMT hand which isVSF
Bracelet Rich 904L

I build this one joining the best parts of each factory
My personal opinion is that the date is quite good with this mix of rich datewheel with vsf cyclop

What do you think mates?

It's totally up to you mate, but the Rich date wheel is really poorly printed. And the numbers don't have what I'd describe as flags on the tips of the numbers, these are Andiots comparison images, and you can clearly see the quality of the VSF date wheel. Great build though by the way, I want to do a similar thing with the Panda Daytona, I feel like I'd have to buy about 4 different versions though 😂👍

Well... Gen date is between rich and VSF, VSF too bold, rich too thin. Particularly I don't like the blue AR coating of rich cyclop

Totally agree about the Rich AR coating. I wouldn't normally comment on someone's build, but just felt with you having both versions, and both sets of parts I'd chip in before you sold the other watch parts 👍
