Understanding ”Franken-Watches”, or “Frankensteined” Watches is one of the more complicated issues that surrounds collecting vintage watches . So-called for their mish/mash of components, these watches are particularly difficult to identify as a beginner, and account for many cases of misrepresented timepieces – whether intended or not by the seller. Unlike outright fakes, Frankensteins are generally assembled and modified from a variety of different timepieces (and aftermarket components) to form a finished product. Whereas fake watches are generally modeled after regular production models (have a look on Canal Street to see just how many fake Rolex Daytonas you can find), Frankensteins are often modeled after rare and hard to find timepieces – which makes it harder for anyone but the most expert and experienced collectors to identify. Additionally, they all use a number genuine components (most often the case), so they are at least “part” real.
