It seems there is certainly knowledge and expertise with Op.
To make this work, I think you need to nail down the business/commercial side of your activity.
Members like/want to see photos of their work, updates and set of terms and conditions of business. Clear requirements to be established IMO.
Things going wrong can be real costly for sure.
Many new TD offering watch smith , modding have failed due this aspect.
Good luck.
There's a guy on RWI who has been developing a full range of AP casesets and parts.
There are at least 2 moddors who will lose business to your entry for sure. I think some of their work including milling process photos are on their too.
Defo do some more research on RWI mate.
Members who undertake AP franken projects for sure will be keen on your services. RWI forum has a very active Rep AP section.
I think there would also be serious interest for parts such as high quality screws. Presently, rep screws are being sold by TDs for $15. And these are for low quality butter soft screws.
Definitely, a nice hobby income to be had if you can fulfil this gap.
Impressive. Agree it's got be a statement tattoo. And by a artist. Not some guy in a mall.
Do your research. Find the best and get ready for the pain.
Who cares what it looks like when you get old.
Gen dial into a ROO.
Domi is go to man for this.
BTW - do you have the LWO movement?
For those who don't know, you can't simply plop a gen dial onto an A7750 movement.
The gen deployment won't make it any more comfortable.
I'd suggest you opt for a tang buckle. Order the tang from a TD and get Jacob to make your strap for tang buckle.
My 2 cents.
I thought the consensus was Russian backed rebels shot down the airliner, not realising it was a passenger aircraft and not as they expected to be a Ukraine transport plane.
At 33k feet, you can't differentiate anything from the ground with binoculars let alone naked eye.
The Russians did it I say.
Agree its too white.
Maybe if the tachy wasn't white. Again, the photos prolly doesn't reflect the depth/sparkle of the dial that may really lift this piece in real life.
