To make things easy I would just do a simple replacement for the SS case... 99% of people will never even notice the difference and plus it would be easier just to do a direct case replacement rather than trying to mod everything to make it work.

I may be wrong, but they may have moved the pushers lower on the case to increase durability around the pushers.  Note that on the SS case, the material is quite thin.  I would imagine it will be prone to damage if the SS case is replicated.  

EDIT:  just saw that this was resolved on an earlier post.  It sounds like it won't work.  

If someone was to get the gen, would it make this project easier, or would it still be challenging with existing movements without serious modification?

What about a solid blocks of this RTM material, then machining the watch case from it? The part that is shown in the images still needs some finishing, I assume. What about a solid rectangular piece, then you machine the case in a 5-axis CNC. That would be far more doable. The only question is durability during construction, metals are predictable under Tungsten Carbide tools, not sure if this CF/epoxy mix is too brittle to be machined...

Other than that, this project is crazy, you're all nuts!

P.S. I's DEFINITELY be up for one, pending surface quality )

I am in the same boat...if the surface finish works and it has some durability, I am in.  This is my favorite AP and have been so frustrated that there are no good reps.  

Love that version.  I wish the rep companies could do the same customization options like the bamford website.
