According to various articles, the forged carbon technique was pioneered by Callaway golf and Lamborghini, and isn't as complicated as some would think....

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fLWUwKE-GM"]AP Carbon Forge - YouTube[/ame]

Making a carbon fibre mountain bike frame would be way more expensive and complex, and yet the Chinese still do that very well (I built and ride two carbon bikes myself, Chinese frames)

So all in all, you need a mould, pressure, and heat, plus the carbon fiber and resin itself of course :)

Looks fantastic Joe, your Ar'd sapphire will finish it off. I have to say the numerical bezel is a massive step forward.

Well I just picked mine up and I was really amazed how light weight it is, I'm very much like this watch,I will do more flaw to flaw nit picky stuff soon but out of the box it has the wire David I was expecting and from when I git tracking confirmation to my for was very fast her are some quick pics when I opened it up at the post office,I couldn't wait till I git home lol

Btw this one definitely needs double ar, easy to much glare on the Crystal and Cyclops

Enjoy

WTF!! Do you always have to be the first one to get the coolest stuff? :cheers: Knowing you get bored easily, waiting for your "handmedown" would probably not take longer than a TD getting some more in, so text me when you're ready:hehehe:

Congrats, Big Joe!! Me want this:cheer:

It's hard to capture in pics the slight of color of the bezel numbers, and look at that hideous glare, but I can't take it apart this week to busy playing catchup and I waited to Damn long for it, not to wear it ha ha ha

Great pics Joe, I have one on order though I fear I'm way further down the list, rest assured once I finally have it I'll be shipping it off to you to work your magic on it!

If you AR the sapphire and AR the cyclops, it does wonders for sure. The AR on the cyclops will get rid of that grey chrome look. If you want and it bothers you about the dial, the noob dial from the v1-v4.1 as diver is a direct swap.

That cobalt blue ar I put on the ap makes the Cyclops almost perfect no need to do both imo, but I haven't seen the 4.1 version;)

The picture where there is light.
Just AR on the sapphire only.

The picture that is kinda dark, AR on sapphire, AR on cyclops, Noob Dial.
Changed out to the noob dial just bc I wanted the dial to be me pronounced as the H Factory version wasn't that pronounced at all.

Noob dial date window is more pronounced , went backwards imo,I think I will stick with mine,I like my dial alot, but I prefer to get the cobalt blue hue ar then the dial will pop and hopefully I can do something with the bezel numbers;)

If u got the Cyclops ar in the second darker picture, then why is the glare there like that looks like plain white light reflection to me?

Gen strap much better a little darker and matches the cf better

Also note it appears your ar Cyclops has more glare than mine the best glare I could produce is that angle shot ,I will send my Crystal out for double ar Monday

The lume on the bezel is still up in the air

Sounds good but I think I'm sticking with that cobalt blue ar,I have done several now and it seems to take care of the Cyclops at the same time, go check out firesuits post on his 57th he is a photographer and his pics show it nicely
