I have more but I asked them to return the watch due to a pretty ugly bezel screw. I'll post some when I will receive it and will do my best then :D

Edit: @Nikohublot here's the new QC pic

So if it dont fit in an 15400 case maybe it is possible to shave down the bezel and caseback (shorten, polish and sunk bezelscrews at the same time) this , combined with the repgeek mod would make it virtually about 90% to gen. Relume , AR crystall , amd polish out the "AP" logo on the bracelet amd voila you have 95% .
What is the repgeek mod?

A member on repgeek forums moded the hour reduction gear by gold plating it but this mod is not necessary for two reasons. 1: The T factory upgraded their gear to gold 2. J factory is actually working on a Tourby RO which seems to be perfect :D

@Nikohublot Here is a decent photo of it, I tried my best but the light has been pretty bad for my little phone... (I included the second picture because the first one is much smaller for some reason...)

Who's making the best rep atm?
And how thick is it?
Obviously not as thin as the original which is 8.8mm, but would be interested to see a side by side, unfortunately the original photos in the OP are no longer visible :(

I am thinking of getting the gold version of this tourbillon and dlc it matt black all the exterior. Black and gold stealth look with a tourbilon movement... Couldn't be sexier

Please share if you got someone who offers dlc at a reasonable rate. So far I've only found this at $1500+ for one watch. This watch might be even more complicated, and the number of people willing to take it apart and reassemble it, is probably very low. Please share if you're going down this road.
