[FREE CONVERTION KIT] Need precise dimensions for the Royal Pop! Reward: A free unit of my upcoming conversion kit.

Hey everyone,

I’m an independent industrial designer working on a project called Pop Core, and I need a massive favor from this community.

To give you some background: Pop Core is a conversion kit designed to turn the Royal Pop collaboration into a fully functional, highly engineered wristwatch. I'm currently designing custom injection-molded links utilizing a radial star system, and I am obsessed with getting the tolerances absolutely perfect.

Right now, I am one guy running this entire operation solo. I'm going up against established companies with 100x my budget and resources, but that isn't going to stop me from building a superior product. I know I can beat them on design and engineering, but I hit a roadblock: I don't currently have the watch on hand, and I need 100% accurate dimensions to finalize my CAD files.

The Ask: If you own the Royal Pop and have a pair of digital calipers, I need someone willing to work with me to pull the exact sizes of the case and mounting points.

The Reward: Whoever helps me get these dimensions completely locked in will be put on the top of my list. As soon as the first batch of production-ready Pop Core kits is finished, I will send you one absolutely free.

If you have the watch and want to help a solo designer take on the big guys, please drop a comment or shoot me a DM! Thanks in advance for the help.
