Rolex Artisans de Genève La Montoya

I find it amazing how thoughtful this is, you know exactly what you’re doing as you’re doing it, and that’s impressive as hell.

From the video they said they are selling both, also upon closer inspection I think the white gold rotor is forged then polished instead of milled like the original.

Mainplate angles done, need cleaning ready for plating.

Still work in progress on the anglage but it's looking better each day :

They sell few versions but the black one is genuine. They only have one version of this movement as far as i know, which is shown on the gold one.

Dial hands caseback bezel etc on the black is gen. Dealers love to throw in genuine pictures and say it's their new release...

Hmm, I’m pretty sure, from most videos on bilibili featuring that watch, they are indeed selling the black version, which will be $2k+. The rotor’s build quality isn’t really on par with real artisan de geneve. There are also carbon fiber versions with uncoated skeleton movements, which is said to be much cheaper.

I wish I had the time to do this, no matter the outcome it’s just amazing work and looks like a lot of fun

New custom rotor and genuine balance bridge :

With the hollowed out balance bridge, what will you use to secure the position of the hairspring stud?

It's tight enough I'm not worried it will move
