Mr Z, have I displayed my envy and covetting spirit yet? :D

I am camping here for two purposes

a. To whip your butt with a hickory switch periodically (haven't found the reason why yet so dont ask)

b. To see your assembled masterpiece, drool over it and kick myself for not being able to afford one

In that specific order. :D :D :D

Mr Z sir. The GP is for sure a very beautiful one AFTER your by now infamous mods.. I drop by everyday and look at the pics in your thread. And I look at my bank account, and I think and think brother. So tell me what to do? :D

hey Z,

I say you pop in a GEN movement on that AMAZING build and try to either custom build a dial to gen spec or get lucky with a gen dial cause that AWESOME case DESERVES it!!!!

You have went above and beyond on this project sir and I salute you for that. BTW, gen AP movement can be bought for around $5k without problems. The dial would be the ONLY set back unless one could be custom made.

Looks like the dial is taking longer the expected .. so I thought id mod the tachy ring to the correct bronze colour instead of the incorrect gold which is on the standard rep!!

As you can see now .. it should be bronze tone not gold

Amazing Work. I cant describe how much I love seeing your progress. Just awesome. I am also wondering if you will be offering a kit, or at least be able to order certain parts of this project to the masses. Maybe this opens up the doors, to a real bumblebee......with carbon parts....or in the future maybe even a "real" Alinghi!!!
