Gauging interest for a APROO caseset

[Edgematic]

Patience can be rewarding and I've been backing this project since the beginning. But we're 4 months away from it being 2 years of development. I'm kinda losing my interest.
CNC milling a rep case gets you superclose already and takes only a few hours.

I do hope this project will come to life but I'm losing all hope.

Things in the watch world takes time..... and money. The next case on the production is the AP, I expect the cases to be done in August. Straps are already being made, trying to work on the hands and will meet suppliers in the next few days, harder than I imagined. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the update! Now I may have to reconsider selling stuff.

By August I will have finished my 6th and last Franken with rep cases.

bro its like you do too much to try impress us. you say about 30 page back there not going to be a lot interest in your homage build so why you still make a strap? straps people can use their rep rubber or buy elsewhere. just get the pushers + crown made and case set + tachy and lwo holder. even the hand set you can release once you get some return on investment. sound like you waste money on a strap no one will buy

Bro sounds like you are ready to take up the challenge of creating something for this community. I say go for it! Trust me, the last thing I want to do is to impress anyone....

I'm hoping this project will materialize. Time and money has been spent on R&D to create something that's more gen like, respect. Hope you will persevere and lead this to fruition!!

Bring it onnnnnnnnnn!

Would leave out straps though, unless they are awesome quality.

Wow talk about a long project would be nice if some one could make it happen that's for sure

 

[buffedupboy]

Our dreams are about to come true......

Here are pictures of some sample hands being made that has a rounded edge profile and more importantly a bezel/ chamfer around the pinion holes! The size is big because it's a sample, the final version will be much much smaller so it can fit a LWO283 mvmt only...... I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. No plans for a A7750 handset yet as the holes are much bigger on those and hence you can't have a hand that will fit both.

Goddamit Im going to be able to afford an RM by the time this project comes to life. Impressive drive buddy. Keep it coming.

Boy, am I looking forward to this!

By August I will have finished my 6th and last Franken with rep cases.

Congrats!
What are they all, if I can ask?

 

[slaughterer62]
