Hello everyone,
need help overthere :)

After i saw JF version of Bumblebee, i quit idea buyin gen , and instead i will get JF version bumblebee but with full upgrades.

I need advise , what and from which board member i can get upgrades. I am planing to invest chunk of money into upgrades, so i can get best possible watch for me .

I spoke with Mr.Dommi, he can upgrade swiss movement, but what else should i try and get to get perfect copy ?

For me its also important to get good crystal, so it want scratch or broke or w/e ( i will wear it a lot i guess :) ) , and ofc good movement (but Mr.Donni will fix that so that want be issue i guess ).

Do i need anything to do on forged carbon case ?

Any advise/help is more than helpfull .

ty all

cheers

Off the top of my head -

Shave Tachy, Slim hour hand, polish FC case, relume.. oh, and change the strap, people on here say the rep one is good but if your going for it, definitely change it for something better.

My opinion is the gen strap cost too much. Try SMP_lover.

As I know the Asian and Swiss movement's not exactly same. And if you want to have swiss 7750 within sec@12 ROO then you have to make kind of hybrid where part of asian movement will integrated within swiss.
But maybe I wrong. Only Domi know full story.
