J12 AP ROO Grand Prix - Platinum, Forged Carbon & RG

[wooky492]

Great Work Chris & Wooky !!!
Get this anywhere near Z's work and you'll make a lot of new "Best Friends"

Intrested to see your Mod to the Forged Carbon Case.
The Shiny J12 FC is definitely the biggest flaw in my opinion !!!

Good Luck to you both [emoji106]

Thank you Joesoap73,

We do realise the FC case on J12 looks sinful.

All FC parts will be refinished to have matte sheen. I don't think it will be as dull looking as the gen FC but it will not be sparkling like J12, i assure you. ;-D

[MENTION=51261]wooky492[/MENTION] you need to have a cyclops with correct mag. I know a watchsmith in SG doing it but not sure if he can supply them in large quantity. His cyclops is not ARed so you might want to AR them yourselves.


*Sent from my fingers using my head*

Yaeeks!
Ok.. let me do some search as if we can do this as inclusive in the mod pack, it would be great.
But not in our official plan so please no grand expectations.

hei wooky, will u mod the bezel screw as well? the bezel screw seems smaller in gen. hahahah

 

[Jojonokb]

Don't worry brother.
we'll order the standard black font... sigh....

Lol

By the way, it would help us lot if someone tell me how to make the DW look deeper.

would be so great if u can provide choices. because i want the black font too actually . and red font with black dw actually will be very cool like schumi. hahaha

Hi fellas,

Thanks again for all the valuable suggestions.
Chris and I appreciate your input very much.
However, we cannot facilitate every mods on every conceivable flaws on this watch as it would drive up the price of the final product.
Some mods are essential and some are not so.
We will modify the areas which REQUIRES our attention but most likely to leave the minor stuffs for the individual owners to decide and mod for themselves. (beside, there are other TD/SV modders here who specialise in some of those)
We do listen to your comments however, thus we would do our best to incorporate them if we deem it feasible in terms of cost/benefit.

Mods in the works are:
1. Dial : anodized color
2. Techy ring - freshily milled using alluminium alloy and anodized to brass look of the gen (milling brass in consideration), final coat for correct sheen, trimmed to have more gap between the DW and Techy ring
3. FC case refinishing
4. Bead blast pusher guards
5. ETA DW

Everything else will be either in consideration or optional.

Hopefully, if things go as planned, we will be able to show case the prototype within the next couple of weeks.

Until then, i will keep the update and will continue to welcome any suggestions or tips.

Thanks

Interesting project guys.

Look forward to getting more info.

Keep up the good work in fixing what J12 should have fixed from the factory!

key factors have been highlighted and pointed out by Chris and Wooky, the rest as i agree, are optional and would only push up the price for marginal utility, the obvious flaws are the tachy, pusher guards, bezel, dials and sub-dials which are the main giveaways, fixing them would give the watch 95% closeness, the last 5% isnt really worth it imo. those who strive for perfection would run into a super franken costing of APs

Ah yes! the Sub dials need to be changed. Completely forgot to mention it but it was in the works from the beginning. ;-)

will you post on repgeek also? I'm on there most of the time

[MENTION=51261]wooky492[/MENTION] is it advisable to buy a jf gp right now to be ready ? thank you

 

[wooky492]

Thanks Guys,
No need to reserve any slots at this time. Will depend on the time it's ready and whether we can sell here. Please remember, we are not SV here yet.
We will be working on that so hopefully we can deliver to many many friends here.
@blazinkn1ght , no need to jump the gun as of yet. I'm sure factory has plenty of stock, in fact I checked with my TD to secure some large numbers of FC GP ;-D

I might actually give RWI priority dips as RG got uneven advantage with zeros' epic build last time. ;-D
