Patience will be rewarding in this case. We just measured up the gen hands and dials. Not sure what to do with the gen dial information yet, but it was off so might as well.

Patience fellas. I just finished updating the drawings because after measuring up the movement/ dials, and counter measuring that against the case I realised that the chrono pushers were a tad low. Good news was that the crown position lined up though.
We also just finished the drawings for the homages, which requires a different caseback and pusher pins that are offset. The crown threading is also different so we will need to produce two different crowns. The rest are going to be the same. The final homage dimension is 16.2mm. Seriously contemplating building the homages as manual winds and removing the rotors since they can't be seen. This can cut the height by 0.5mm. But then again, it's still a stretch from the gen which is at 14.15.
The bumblebee homage will most likely not be made till a later date because of a lack of demand, and it requires almost all new separate toolings.

It's taken me 6 months to get all the parts I need so far. A little more time ain't gonna kill me.
I'll just go and finish my other ones..... Maybe.....
