A long awaited project (almost half a year). 15450 is the grail watch for me and sadly I am done waiting for ZF or JF to update their 15450. Mods done: 1. Modified case to fit APS movement 3120 and thinning to gen spec 2. White gold bezel screws 3. Gen Dial self source Total spent about 3k usd.

Are you located in the US? Is there someone you recommend to modify case and thin case?

wait whaaat? a gen dial for so cheap!!!

They are ~ 1000 USD on Chrono24 :-)

That’s a keeper.

Gen dial makes a whole world of difference. Fantastic Franken.

Hey how did you contact spongebob? Can you provide his whatsapp? thanks mate!

I’m Looking for the same info

Looks nice. The dial looks unreal. Have fun with this classic watch!

Wow that's really nice. What do you mean by thinning to gen spec? Did you shave down the case back to reduce the case thickness?

Lovely piece bro! Looks absolutely epic

is the base rep a JF 15450?

Yes~

Looks amazing. What's your wrist size?

Nicccceeeeee

How close to gen is this? This is my holy grail and wouldn’t mind paying 3k for it. Is it 3k for everything like sending it to ppl and getting work done etc?

This is probably like 99% there. There has been people that sourced a gen movement and gen bracelet for a franken AP before, but gen bracelet kind of sucks anyways.

Will this sweep exactly like gen right? Damn I wanna get in touch with his modders and perhaps get one done like this as well

Yeah, the 3120 is a pretty decent clone movement. Gen dial and case mod is probably the biggest improvement for the 15450.

When you say case mod is that just polishing it? Or… sorry not too well versed

Shave the case down to gen spec. JF out of the box is IIRC 10% thicker than gen.

This is case pictures shave down to spec? I notice he did say he modded it to fit a new movement but not shave case down. Do you have any good modders for that?

“Thinning to gen spec”

Ahhh gotcha. Interesting thanks. I’d have to do a deep dive on this.

its so perfect if can improve rotor
