If you want me to cobble together a caseset in a month, no problem. But I think the APROO deserves to be done right and correctly. No point getting something out that is almost there but not quite. It is no different to getting a rep case and sanding it down with hand.

What we want to achieve is a gen spec and quality caseset, so we need to discuss with the correct case makers, who are actually capable of making it to the standard/ tolerance that we require..... it's also not easy convincing good case makers to copy another brand.

This project is going to take about 3-6 months to complete, but I rather get it done right than to rush it, and then come out with V2!

I wonder if this project is going to take the Franken AP's to another level.
Excited about the Homages too(what excites me mostly is the 200mt water resistance!

If I don't ask too much, it is possible to know which ''pressure tester'' is used from the factory to waterproof at 20 bars?

big up for Buffedupboy!

We have received quotations from 1 factory, and awaiting another. The main determination right now is really the quality of finishing of the casesets.

We have also sent in the drawings for the rubber parts/ crowns/ pushers and screws and awaiting quotations for those. We will try to get handsets done first, and if all goes well we will try to get the caseset samples done first. We should be able to get these ready in 1-2 months.
