what Z did on the gp watch is amazing and he deserve all the credits for his work.
the things he made are deffently a big upgrade for the rep gp's and no way j12 can tip on that!!

Yeah i can definitely admire the passion that Z had for the gp. Takes insane amount of dedication and time. Kudos

Anyone who knows how much work Z put into this project not to mention attention to slightest details and the amount of time and money can appreciate this endeavor. Obviously those who have little knowledge can chime in and critize this achievement. As so many of the AP enthusiasts have said his meticulous attention to fine tune this piece to near gen perfection is such a feat it's breathtaking. The tachy alone not to mention the dial color is a purists dream. Yes J12 will release a decent gp but it will not be in the same league sadly. Z has spent months developing parts, through trial and error, I have seen personally parts to which I would've said good enough but he scrapped them and started over in search of perfection. His devotion to this project and his keen eye for detail is outstanding. The level of craftsmanship is mind blowing with no expenses spared. The sheer passion he's had and patience not to mention the financial investment he's incurred to achieve such a magnificent piece is something I truly admire. Few of us would be able to stomach the setbacks and still continue on but Z preserved and brought us a piece which is so close to perfection it's enviable. I too am looking forward to seeing what J12 delivers but I highly doubt it will be remotely as good unfortunately. There are a few guys here who have the knowledge and they have voiced their opinion each of them know exactly how much work is required to get these results. Z has taken a mundane rep and turned it into a level above superrep, an achievement in the rep game which will be near impossible to surpass. Amazing work, devotion, and a stupendous final outcome. Z is hands down the GP master. Z you earned all the accolades and if there was a category for the best modded watch of the year, you sir win it without contest.

[zorro-l]

Don't want to be rude.. But plz get your facts correct.. Gen v my old gp. Sub dial rings really!?? Think you maybe need glasses as I cannot see any noticible difference.. Please in lighten me!??

@Zorro :

You do not need to justify yourself buddy, your work and talent speaks for itself...

However if you could get hold of your friend Gen and post side by side pics with your current masterpiece that would be highly appreciated

 

[zorro-l]

@fire
Yes I'm trying to get hold of the gen.. As soon as I do will do a side by side and if j12 is out by then I will Include that also in the comparison.. Long live the king

@Zorro shaidx is refer to the sub dial rings on j12 dial in post #1. you are probably sick to redo middle dial again but would look perfect if tapestry on you dial is more shallow. your tachy color is the cherry on the cake!

 

[Daytona1984]

that would be awesome mate and highly appreciated

@Zorro I 'm assuming bcoz you have been receiving too many compliments for your hardwork , some people just tend to want to vibe kill and make a fuss about minor stuff and create things that ain't really there so just ignore lol .. Besides they might just be messin about with you, deep down they know you did a good job :thumbsup:, they just don't wanna admit haha ...

 

[andman]

Zorro.... you da man and you got da watch... nuff said

 

[StevenLee]

AP GP Gen This is a gen I took picture of while in HK

 

[StevenLee]

I am not joking but the dial finish is something like this. Flawless smooth,

It is flawless smooth, mirror finish, adonised finish. Only just slightly ligher.
This gives U an idea how impossible to get achieve unless at an industrial level, which I think Zorro got to..

FFS read Zorros thread and look at the amount of work. 2 years to create? I have nothing but respect for him and his patience. We will be lucky if factories can ever reach his standards, which they probably won't for awhile.
