This watch was built by my friend and great watchmaker Domi !! Thanks a lot !! You are the best watchmaker on the planet !!

Also a big thanks to Mrgee5165 for disassembling his gen AP Bumble Bee to provide me with lots of info !! Thanks also to Edge for his CF input !!

I hope you enjoy the pics and I welcome all comments

Perhaps two unnecessary things that can turn this into a whole new level is to somehow engineer the dwindow into a square one and somehow find and fit a slightly yellowish datewheel. [emoji23]
