Watchmeister Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Great stuff. Can't wait to see them mounted. I see the bezel and the chrono pushers and how they are used. What is the last piece for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Z Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Its been a long agonising week ,as my gp carbon parts arrived last Sunday 1st but been stuck in customs as the thieving so and so wanted money finally just arrives today on 11th . and the 3 day express shipping did not relay its part , that was a waste of money !! I first i have to say thanks to Imaknockov who has been very very helpful, second to none service as i place the order and paid it was sent out same day and tracking number sent before i could even ask for it .. hats off a great service!! right now moving on to the important part the parts and the quality of the finish and fitting I. quality its very much on par to the OEM carbon parts !very much capture the OEM look 2. finishing the finish is 2nd to none all the parts have been done to a very high standard as you would expect , from any professional 3.fitting all i can say they fit pretty much perfectly just slight alignment on the parts when placing the screws back and fits beautifully 4 . overall look now it really does look very very close to the gen !!million miles from the fake carbon parts ! 5.final verdict im very happy with the overall look and feel of the carbon and quality and fitting so much better then the fake carbon look its just worlds apart . bravo for you excellent work 10 out 10 !!

Mr Z Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) fitting the parts is pretty much straight forward long as you have the right tool tools need for the job 1 hex driver 2mm 2 hex driver 1.5mm 3 hex driver 1mm 4 modded 3mm flatted head screw driver with slot cut out of the middle 5 dust cover now you all set to go !! remove case back screws with hex driver 1.5mm and the same time use hex driver 2mm to hold the bezel screws in place !and remove the replacement part as well now use your modded 3mm flat driver to remove the grooved washer on the inside of the case hold bezel screws in place with hex or use to unscrew or visa versa now to remove bezel use a small flat screw driver to praise of the bezel be care not to damage the part underneath move on to the pusher guards use hex 1mm to remove screws !! now that you have all the parts just reassemble the parts in the same order , job done Edited April 11, 2012 by zorrolondon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Z Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 just a quick update .. for anyone that is putting there GP on a gen strap it will not fit without the following mod you will need the following! dremel with a set of diamond drill files , better then using a drill bit as u have more control, as u need to make the hole more oval on one side* tools for the job 1.dremel 2.diamond drill fill 1mm 3.metal vice its a simple 3 min job on each end-links just take you time a file of small amount and to keep checking to see how it fits .. keep it tight as u dont want to over do it on hole as screw as it will spin and not hold tightly once the strap and end links fit together 1. remove strap and end-link 2 secure in metal vice 3 use dremel with diamond file drill 4 remove small amount each time and check to see how it progressing when mounting it back on strap job done the moddded end-link is on the right 5. mount back on strap .. and sit back and enjoy ur labour !! ........................................................................................
