Oooo, didn't even occur to me to use a CF strap until now...just slapped it on. Should've hit me sooner - Ferrari -> F1 -> CF...it just make sense. I used the sharpie technique to colour the stitching and wet-sanded the polished buckle for the brushed look.
The text is still white...I'm wondering how I can "ivory-ize" the text. I have an extra dial I can test with so I welcome any suggestions before I send it out to have the dial installed. I think it's just for the davidsen case.
I just received the newest dial - I got a 177 couple months ago but there was a QC issue with one of the cutouts so he offered to send me his latest dial when it was ready. Here are the pics.
Hmmm, here's a pic of the "v2" Chrono I've seen. The 3, 6, 9 markers are present but the date dial is completely wrong. My still newbie eyes can't really pick out other subtleties though so I'll leave it to you guys.
Edit: Ok, this is completely off...ignore me. Duh.
