Atm it's not necessary, out of the box this piece looks fantastic. Wait for it to come out, members to post wristies, and then decide if necessary. Someone will be offering the mod if there's really a huge demand.

It was an amazing mod zorro did when he made his GPs and it involved a lot of trial and error. I imagine it'll be something that someone Else takes on if j12 doesn't do well on the dial
Brothers look at the opening post and you notice the j12 insert is fit into a noob dial. That must mean Zorro dial must fit the j12? Who will be first to take one for the team?
The Zorro build is extremely detailed and there is zero guarantee atm the J12 future GP releases will be able to utilize Zorro's extensively researched mods, assuming you can even get these mods to use. He hasn't confirmed there will be any in the first place, he said he was done with the GP once his builds were delivered to the fortunate few however, whether or not that changes is questionable, only Zorro can determine.
Get it out of your head for now. You're comparing two completely different animals until you physically have a J12 GP in hand, it's best to stop speculating, be patient, and don't assume anything. One thing this hobby has taught many of us is expected the unexpected.

Looks good. What are your thoughts on the FC? I think it looks pretty good but lacks a bit of, um, depth maybe is the word I'm looking for, when comparing to gen. At least they did a matte finish which is good!
Also I've noticed something from the off set.. The dw window spacing to the tachy is less on the j12 then noob version.. Looks like a wider tachy is being used

Stainless steal no platinum. And the FC version is cheaper in gen world where here it is the most looked for version and most expensive. Now they can recoup their losses and yeah I bet they lost money on the Ginza7 and Trulli which almost nobody here bought. The GP is probably going for Schumi like proportionate sales. Everyone wants one.
To be honest I have not seen anyone in the real world wearing either a rep or gen Schumi and I live in quite a poshy region. Many fake hublots and cartiers though have been seen, even rich people do wear reps even very cheapo reps.

The forums are a very tiny market for the makers compared to the real world, China, Taiwan, Turkey, Spain, as examples. If you haven't seen many schumi in the real world it's because most who own a 50k limited edition don't wear daily. The platinum schumi, gp, RBii are 100k. Not too many people in this league wearing as daily beater lol
We're spoiled with the quality of rep coming out the past few years. Improvements are light years from earlier versions in 90's and mid 2000.
Expect only greater advances with the newer movement to replace 7750 which will take these chronos to levels unseen in the history of rep hobby. Lots of awesome developments in the works unfortunately not happening this year or soon enough.
Interesting.. Good catch! Noob wins here
