Full forged carbon case GP(IN COMING)

[zorro-l]

Another Quick update ... been trying out .. some custom colours on the dial ... its my best effort after being in the custom paint shop for over 2 hours .. and this is the closest i could get it... just from the pics ... but but will opt for another technical process to archive the correct finish on the lower red part of the dial ... but in the mean while here are some pics of what the state of play is so far ..
feel free to leave and feed back !!

sub dial should be ready next week !!

A labour of love! Can't wait for this to be finished!

it looks much better Z! but IMHO the 'Audemars Piguet' lettering looks a bit blur for me.. Hope you can improve that'll be great!

 

[zorro-l]

the lettering is just to see how the overall look would be ....on final the letters will be crisp and clear ..this is just mock up!!

Hi Z, that's really starting to come together nicely!

Am I correct in remembering that the red portion is a separate piece from the rest of the dial? If this is the case, and you have the ability to remove the logo, I suspect that I have a technique that will nail the glossy metallic red perfectly, just contact me via e-mail.

Hi Gio ... yes it getting there but this was just a quick test update on the dial for me, which i knew was not going to be what i was looking for ..but wanted to post the progress never the less !! ..will revert back to my original idea .. to nail the correct effect on lower part of the dial ... !! also mailed you to see how see the finish being achieved !! thank you for you input !! mr z

Right finally ... managed to get the correct finish in the lower red part of the dial (with the native print effect ) just the sub dial's left to finish this .. labour of life piece off .... the ap writing is just for the mock up final will be crisp and clear .... and in correct fount !! as always please feel free to leave any feed back .... finally light and the end of the tunnel shines !!!!

[joegrimm]

the factory better hurry up and produce this model again cause this thing is starting to look bad @SS.

 

[JellyJoe]

Not so fond of that watch, as I am more a vintage guy, but your paint job is top notch mate.
Amazing.

Look at his signature Z.
One great project incoming!!

ohh i see the custom LW style strap ... but why the need for the old fake carbon gp case ? ?

 

[jamztio]

So, SMP can use it as a template so that he can make one for our GP! Imagine, the LW strap with red accent on the sides and the square edges plus red stitching. A great alternative other than the gen GP strap.

But he'll be making the strap for the Diver first, that's why the need of the GP case as a template, but unfortunately the Diver strap doesn't fit into the GP case.

 

[Imaknockov]

I've been keeping a low profile lately but I really have to give you props Zorro, your GP looks absolutely fantastic!!

 

[SMP_lover]

You know what guys, If somebody sends me their old fake carbon case, I could throw in a couple of GP straps in the same batch with the diver's. Better somebody from EU so that it gets faster to me. The sender will normally get a discount for the strap.

I see the GP strap like this:

smp email me you shipping address !! will send you one !!
