Z.-gp only one winner here
1 full fc carbon case
2 noob v2 GP ( all are brand new)
3 gen gp strap (modded plots to take gen strap)
4 lower bezel black glossy finish to a pro standard
5 push guards /buckle /strap plots /case back all colour match to gen with media blast finish/case finish as gen
6 custom made tachy gen spec and colour match with custom made tachy print
7 lower red dial custom made with gen colour match and finish . new pad printed ap and using the noob logo
8 all the sub dial custom made art work and print to gen spec colour match .@6@9@12
9 2x cyclops ar
10 2x crystal ar
11 mikey titanium bezel screws media blasted like gen !

No comparison to j12 looks or price wise.. Just for the record you pay for what you get...

so i wasnt too far off with it being close to this: http://www.replicawatchvideo.com/ro...ge-carbon-case-and-bezel-video_edbfae21c.html

likely it would be similar, they might have updated the bezel screws, and definitely the caseback display.
probably 850-900usd im guessing. still much lower cost that when they offered it for 1400 previously.. i might be wrong though :rofl:

3k vs sub 3 digit price range. its like asking bp to produce tc level subs :rofl:

In terms of accuracy Yes Zorro yours is the winner, don't think there's any doubt in that! But there was only 10 made and 3x plus the cost.

I'm happy for those that got in on the 10, but see no reason to rub any further in the faces of others that couldn't nor wouldnt want to pay more.

This release will be a lot cheaper than the original Gp's that where sold many years ago,

Happy with flaws BUY

My question to you is will you be offering your Tach and dial for members to buy? Seems a shame not to spend all that time effort and money investing on a great project, and not to share with fellow enthusiast!

 

[zorro-l]

Not here to rub it in at all buddy.. Just wanted to State why the price difference.. Its not just a mater of mines more expensive, there is a reason why so... Im. Not here to compare mine better... It should be better for the amount time and effort envoled in this labour of love... As for me to offer a dial set or tachy.. Would be very unfair for the 10 z-gp owners.. If to offer anything would be the tachy only!!

 

[sharrkey]

Then hopefully those that didn't know or fully understand the difference in yours Now Do!!

Would be good if you could offer these for potential GP owners, but I can understand your reasons for Not.

Thanks for sharing

Your welcome buddy... As u said I'm also disappointed it's like 2 steps forward and 3 back.. Same old rep story... Having said that I would offer the tachy.. And the modding of the dial.. Would be left to the brave and free!!

 

[Hyjynx]

zorro-l, we all get it. You built the next best thing to gen. Awesome work. [emoji106][emoji106] Take a bow. [emoji122] [emoji122] But coming in every now and then to post practically the same "how great thou art" list (which you've stated you have no intention of remaking) does nothing for this thread except poisoning the well.

 

[zorro-l]

I'm. Just hoping other will follow in my foot steps to take it into there own... Modding route as I stated I would offer the tachy.. And the rest is in the hand of the modder.. Before I found the forum I. Never even opened a watch.. Let alone been able to carry out the modded listed, he who dares wins buddy.. Thé moral of the story... U never know what's possible.... Until you try!!!

And for those that don't know or forget how expensive the old noob version was

$818 seems EXTREMELY cheap! I for one remember all the Demand around Noob's V1 and the cost (cost of REAL FC parts added, by imaknockof, THAT IS!)...
I feel J12 hit the right price point for lots of consumers here.
None of this "The Bumblebee is toooo expensive" saga of a year ago repeated with GP

 

[sharrkey]

IMHO for what it's worth, stick a nice strap on it from Vic, Zorro's Tach (if available) service if possible and you will have a fantastic build.

Plus what's the chances of running into someone with the Gen equivalent?? Slim to bloody none.

 

[chris3007]

But don't forget, in the past FC parts and cases were something special and expensive. today these FC cases more or less standard at the rep game.

Yes, You are right Chris...

I like it, price is right, that will be my next watch. No mods, no gen strap for me.
