I have had a franken built for me by BK so it wasnt a labor of love as most franken builders seem to do it as a hobby for themselves. For me it was to try and get the most accurate rep possible that I can look at it and be proud how much like its Genuine brother it can be at only 20% of the cost. I dont have to look at it and see how different the pearl is or how bad the rep crystals are etc... I can just wear it and enjoy it and not see any flaws at all.

With the other reps ive had, in the begining its the honeymoon period but after awhile the first things you see when you look down at your watch (besides the time ) are the flaws. These highly modded frankens ensure as few flaws to look at as possible. I have no problem telling anyone its a replica/franken if they ask but the work done on it was purely for myself. Not to try and make it harder to be called out or whatever.
