Legend Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Mr Z, have I displayed my envy and covetting spirit yet? 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squashlovernk Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Z Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Please note that I have adjusted the colour and finishing after plating .. which involves 3 more processes .. matte+colour !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmj Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Oh my lord.. that is one hell of a case with great attention to detail. Well done Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Z Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 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 without the crystal with the crystal installed .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Z Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 few wrist shots ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Stunning!!! I'm curious to know if there will be a kit offered I'm still looking for a rosegold GP with the carbon parts. But this project of yours got my wheels spinning bigtime! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theknowledge Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 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!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
