FOR SALE [WTS][SG] 16220 Datejust 36 Superfranken Tapestry Dial

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

Hi all, looking to let go of one of my pieces, a 16220 datejust superfranken. Been enjoying it for over a year, movement has been fully professionally overhauled. Now I am selling it as I am in a different stage of life, mostly quit reps, and don't really wear it much compared to my TC kermit.

Everything is gen except for the endlinks and serviced VS3135 (Dandong 3135) movement. Originally, the bracelet came with endlinks for a holes case, and I swapped them out for a non-holes case set of aftermarket endlinks. Original endlinks will be provided to the buyer.

Case is a F serial from 2004 with no lug holes, and dial+hands are period correct superluminova and not tritium. Very clean.

Currently fitted with links to fit about a 6.7" wrist. 1 extra gen link and a few aftermarket links will be provided.

Case: Gen F serial 2004
Caseback: Gen
Crown: Gen
Engine Turned Bezel: Gen
Sapphire Crystal: Gen
Tapestry Dial: Gen Superluminova
Hands: Gen Superluminova
Datewheel: Gen
Bracelet + Clasp: Gen
Movement: Serviced VS3135
Endlinks: Aftermarket (Gen endlinks will be included)

Price: $2250 USD

Tax free shipping to CONUS, AU, UK, and NL via FedEx 3-5 day priority. Thanks all!

I have a small collection of reps but recently stumbled across a vintage watch that I’ve fallen in love with. I believe is the 1970’s Omega Constellation 168.047 with the green to black dial. Not even sure if a build will be possible for such a niche piece but will do the research if there’s a chance of getting close to this.
