ryanwayer Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 I tried to turn the lighting darker to show the texture, and If you have seen the GEN watch in your real life, you can see the visibility of Forged Carbon texture is depends on the lighting. Left : My GP with Forged Carbon modded (US$598 bought from puretime) Right: GEN GP (US$45,000) $598 VS $45,000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenHornet Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Have to admit, I'm just not that crazy about the forged carbon look, on the rep or gen. But as the previous poster stated, if I were in the market for the GP, I would definitely save the $44K and get the rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychospike Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 holly cow ..i have been deeply poisoned !!! how much are the mods TS ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Not quite sure if these mods are done with a complete new case in carbon-mix or was the finish modded....the ss surface was re-done better to fake the carbon??? Can we have some more information please? Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanwayer Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 It doesn't need the new carbon case imho, just use the current REP ss case and it can be done, now my forged carbon effect is under the waterproof experiment , it has been 5 days already and the result is satisfied. I just ordered a new material to mix this carbon solution to be perfect, I think it will be all done within a month. and about the dial, that's impossible to reapaint the dial because the red part should be metallic red plated. not painted. and the platinum also not blue painted, should be metallic blue plated for that part. So I'm thinking to produce a new correct dial about this, hopefully it can be success. The pusher guards of my GP is incorrect color, the Gen one should be titanium, but it's easy fixed, I will do the new titanium plating on that later. Not quite sure if these mods are done with a complete new case in carbon-mix or was the finish modded....the ss surface was re-done better to fake the carbon???
