Shannon.Linnan Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Posted February 6, 2013 This is what the Montoya looks like with a carbon case. Also, I will be processing cases on a first-come, first-serve basis. I give fair notice :ninjagone: Wow! 99% done... Just needs the carbon weave strap! [censored]! AMAZING!

Although, you make it sound kinda kinky... Lol In any case, there's a lot of pride in this one for me... That, and a heck of a lot of appreciation and respect for the skills and integrity of Imaknockov. Without him, this project would have been nothing more than a cool idea. Giovanni, thanks mate!

Long story short, I got hold of a project watch and the case set ended up with Another solid member. Pm me for more details - he may be worth a shout to see what he ha planned for it.

eunomians Posted February 9, 2013 Report Posted February 9, 2013 D- You joining the club? I am indeed!
eunomians Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 Does anybody know off hand what the size of the caseback hex bolts are? I'm trying to find the correct tool. Thnx
eunomians Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 ***Edit above I found the tutorial Thanks!
Imaknockov Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 Does anybody know off hand what the size of the caseback hex bolts are? I'm trying to find the correct tool. Thnx Hi Eunomians. In all fairness, you'll need to modify a hex socket wrench to remove the hex bolts. The exact size escapes me though, as I found the right size from an old mini screwdriver kit. Once you have the right size, you will have to grind the outer part of the socket until it's a little less than 0.5 mm thick to avoid gouging the case-back. To be honest, that was the most frustrating part of the build, and I'm really happy that AP moved away from those screws!
eunomians Posted February 13, 2013 Report Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks for the tip. I should be able to custom mod a hex socket. Looking forward to this watch
buffedupboy Posted February 13, 2013 Report Posted February 13, 2013 Fantasy build, MONTOYA BLUE DIAL!!!
Shannon.Linnan Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Posted February 13, 2013 I have considered doing this... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
buffedupboy Posted February 13, 2013 Report Posted February 13, 2013 Yeah, I looked at the montoya RG again and it's a beautiful watch. I don't think I can actually come to terms with cracking that open and swapping it out because it looks perfect to me as it is. The blue/ Platinum however...... The strap does bother me some, but I'm thinking of swapping that thing out to a black horn with blue stitch. That should set things off some....
eunomians Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 I'm getting ready to do the conversion. I can't find the tutorial though
ralphhitter Posted June 4, 2013 Report Posted June 4, 2013 What were the complete costs to build 1 of this watches? Greets ralph
