All good. What's a GP dare I ask?

Oh, sorry. I forgot to be more specific.
It's Audemars Piguet Forged Carbon Grand Prix. I am in the process of creating an epic version.
Here is the watch in question

Awesome. Do you build watches from the ground up?

It's a partnership with a buddy of mine in US. As here it is mighty hard to find resources to create such things. Over in the States there are cnc millers, anodisers, machinists who would gladly do small batch of specialised goods for a small fee. But here, no one does it or even willing to listen.

Anyhow, we ended up buying machines and now building most parts ourselves.
I'll have the prototype in a few weeks.

No i am using JF GP as a base. Jf forged carbon case is actually quite good.
Everything else are either modified or machined from ground up.

Yes we build franken and other mods as well.
But we are slightly different to other modders or watch smiths as we are basically 'project' based ops.
We come up with a special edition idea and build small number and sell on RWI.

Special edition RB2 is the next project in the pipeline and we have Richard Mille project in waiting. ;-)

I used Paul to repair a broken balance wheel on a TC movement, as long as you provide the parts you won't have any problems at all. Unbelievably nice guy and is very honest with his pricing. I won't be using anyone else for any watch repairs ever that is for sure.
