APguy1 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hi fellas, Ive been designing my Own AP Style case in hope to actually machine it. Ive done many many renderings and this is the final design I hope you all like it. Ive encorporated many different Audemars Piguet Styles such as the AP Diver Case and the MS Crown, 15400 Bezel. No visible gaskets but the crystal will be clamped down when the bezel is tightened and a gasket will seal the crystal underneath where it isn't visible. The surface finish on the watch is just the same as SS AP's Linear Brush with polished Chambers. On the case back I'm tempted to put a turned circular finish on it all and then polished engravings. Ill let you do the judging Cheers, Olly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APguy1 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I'm now playing around trying to fit the 2824 movement into the case I would like to similar design with the hidden crystal gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Great looking project, probably need to make sure the inside is machined to easily accept a good reliable, easily obtainable movement, like the 2824.

APguy1 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 What kind of dial designs do you think I should go for ? I was going along the homage style but not sure if I like it. Any input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpohl402 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Impressive project and looks cool! However, the first thing I thought of, honestly, was that the ProjectX (Diver) is already named & in production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
