one more question, which i dont recall seeing. I understand that the construction will be gen spec (on case 1), but what about the finishing? Specifically wondering if the back of the mid case will be bead blasted to a matte finish like the gen?

Hi Andy,
Yes finishing will be as close to gen as we can get it. The brushing may not come up to gen spec, but we will only know once we see the samples. The back of the maincase will be sandblasted deeper than the reps, much like the gen.

Well, things are under way. Here are some 3D renderings for the rubber parts before we proceed to opening the mold.

If you can also supply high-quality bezel screws, lugs, caps, etc. THIS would be mightily appreciated.
This project is for a completed caseset. We are talking bezel, bezel gasket, main case, pushers, crown, movement ring, Double AR coated glass, caseback gasket, caseback, screws, nuts, bolts, 4 strap lugs and friction rings.
We will start with the rubber molding first, we are still deciding on the case parts supplier, due to pricing and quantities and we should have quotations for the pushers/ crowns/ screws shortly.

Great project! Will you be offering the option for high quality sapphire crystals without AR? Many ROO chronographs don't have AR on the crystal.
Some pics gen vs rep (I already installed the crystals, I can uninstall as well if needed 
):
If more pics are needed let me know.
The ROO Diver crystal does have AR on the inside only. The new 44mm ROO's have AR on the inside as well but the 42mm ROO's don't.
Hope this helps.

Is your gen crystal new or used? I see alot of ROO glass come in with AR coating scratched, which is why I know all ROO glass has AR coating when new. Many people buff the AR coating off as it scratches easily.
