Alrighty, ChrisM305 (aka Chris for those who doesn't know that this project is 90% his baby) is ready to do printing on the techy ring.
Here is the plate he just had it made.

And the AP logo print

Chris just paid for CNC machine, On top of last several heavy machinary he bought in the past 2 month since this project began.
I wonder what he is upto. i'm sure it's related to the GP build. ;-P
(Of course i know what he is doing with it .. i'm just a big teaser lol)
Not all but he will soon ;-) At the moment he is working with people from high tech industry such as Aviation and motorsports (by the way Chris is a former Aviation & motorsports tech himself :-D hence relatively short R&D time from conception to development) to see what's possible and what's not but looks like most parts will be made inhouse by the looks of how the plan is progressing. :-DSo he's doing all these in house?
He could if he becomes SV :-D (pressure to the admin lol)[MENTION=51261]wooky492[/MENTION] Hope he can start offering case milling for franken too after this? [emoji6]

Thanks J,OCD is great in a modder, but you have to have patience on the other side. Great that you are anodising rather than lacquering. The tap dial pattern will be a lot crisper. I was going to outsource the pad print for the logo, but on the test run the lettering was too thick, so it ended up a dead project. I ended up using Mike's water-slides instead.
Thanks @slaughterer62 and @watchman12345,
The minor set back is because Chris is OCD. lol
He finds that the 'AUDEMARS PIGUET' logo font is not perfect gen size. (looking at the plate i posted on previous page). Individual letter spacing and font size.
Made another plate but again, not satisfactory.
Doing it again. Hopefully it will be perfect this time.
You gotta give the man some credit for being such a mad OCD LOL ;-D
Amen brother! [emoji106] [emoji6]Yes patience is definitely key guys this is alot of trial and error testing but in my mind not much is impossible just must be patience and all things will be good in the end I definitely have not invested this much time a to do things half hearted this project was started bye us because of our passion for watches first and then for the love of GP and GP deserves more respect than what the factories have left us with so all i can say is ai promise that we will not stop till we have accomplished this goal i have water slide decals as well but as I just mentioned GP deserves better that to use decals pad printer is how it is supposed to be done so we will do it this way [emoji16]
