Congrats W on such a rare find and classy piece!! Wear it well friend George

@mossanti watch this thread ---> Hopefully it will be updated with some GOOD news Trying my best to keep my source from "drying up". George

LOL Nice find! Seems like the manufacturers are having also QC issues - not just our dealers To be true and maybe a little bit more fair: I guess this happened to the VC during transport or due to a heavy shock or something... Anyway true is also that you would rather expect an issue like that happening with a CN rep! The hands should be better attached at the gen!! Just my 2cents about it George

Again thanks for all insights and input on you project! Will definitely try to get you some gen hands as it worked out for kruzer... You deserve it George

LOL Yes even the Site is a "replica"... Do you also get "your copies" only from "original replicated sites" lol Cmon admins shut that thing down!! Who the f**** is PERFECT2CLONES?? Take that son... off the air.

@sander just curious: maybe stupid question but anyway, is the gap to the left with a gen AP ROO dial really as much as one entire mm or less?

WOW!!! What an effort But seems like you did very well so far... Curious about what our watch (movement) moding experts will say about this issue. Respect! George

@panoris Dont wanna "dampen" you... moding the mbw RO jumbo case is a hard one! For ex. my RO 14802ST jumbo dial (nos) is a 1:1 swap into the case but youll have to solve the movement problem --> ETA (no matter which one) wont fit the gen hands unmoded and secondly ETA center gear/pins holding the hands of the movement are definitely too thick for the hole of the genuine dial! Last problem is the position of the date-window to the ETA machine. Have no confirmation about prices yet - bearing in mind that a gen Jumbo dial can be around "600 Euro +" without hands or maybe a gen datewheel for cal.2121 this is really a "hard one" to mod... "for lovers only" George

PLS note: Vacheron Constantin Dial i am requesting is changed (misunderstanding between me & Kruzer/Warren) from ref. 42042/423A - 8722 to ref. 47040/B01A - 9093 this is the bigger "jumbo" Overseas model!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @Ubi i might ask... best opportunity will be when we will meet next time - phoned him today but he is always very busy. Out of memory i literally saw "tons" of dials - an entire folder with for ex. ROO dials but i cant remember having seen any watch movt./ movt. parts around. Might take some time when i will see him again (dunno at the moment how much time asking for price and secondly ordering will take him) but i will ask - you can go PM and drop me a line as a reminder on this. You can also be more precise then, what parts you are thinking of. George

Hi folks! Decided to post this thread rather than PM each and everyone of you people that asked for availability and prices of genuine parts. At the moment i have my contact asking on following parts: Vacheron Constantin - Overseas (model build 2006) ref. 47040/B01A - 9093 ---> A set of hands (Hour and minute excluding seconds) ---> Crown for case ---> Datewheel for cal. 1126 Vacheron Constantin - Overseas (model build 2000) ref. 42042/423A - 8722 ---> Dial (silver) Audemars Piguet - Royal Oak Jumbo Ref. 15202ST.0.0944ST.01 ---> Dial (creme/white) ---> set of hands (hour and minute) ---> Datewheel for cal. 2121 --------------------------------------------------- At the moment my source checks for prices and ordering time for above listed parts - hopefully he might be able to get all of them. I will update the thread with prices and infos. To all people that PMed and asked me: I have your inquiry "in mind", this means if your requested parts will be available - you will be the first person i will deal with! If anyone chooses to say "No, thank you..." no problem. I will let you know through this thread and maybe someone else decides if he is willing to "jump" on this opportunity or not. You can PM me when you have a question on AP - VC and PP parts. Pls bear in mind, its not very "fortunately" for me to bother my source at this time where there are inquiries pending for further watchparts. This is somewhat a test run as the first "bulk asking/ordering" for parts and i will first of all see how well this will work out with you and my contact before i will ask for other parts. Ive been told that he can order/source many different parts (of 3 brands above) but what he is not willing to do is for ex. ordering 3 AP Dials or 5 sets of hands etc. etc. I guess you understand... lets finish this "run" successfully and start a second run for asking/ordering when this is finished. I am awaiting affirmation on the above pieces during the next weeks. For now ive just been said, that it can be possible to order - it will just take some work and time! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have no problems with people asking here or beeing skeptical, because i am not offering this for a profit - i am just working as a proxy. Knowing how hard it is to obtain parts from brands as AP - VC or PP i try to offer this to the members here because i have some kind of devotion to these brands! The reason why i choose to hunt down these sources is and was because spending hundreds of $$$ for the next "perfect" rep maybe wont keep you that satisfied as owning a dial for a rare piece and build you own franken. Another thing you should know if you decide to buy something is: The parts are fresh from the factory - no used or second quality. Ill keep you updated here - only thing i have to do now is wait and hopefully this thread is going to be updated during next 2 or 4 weeks with some GOOD news!! The best to you! George

Beautiful piece :good: Wear it well!! George

Good Luck! And happy Easter @all George

+1 @Frank Same reason why i choose better to get some gen-parts and modify the reps to frankens... George

+1 same thought

+1 Great deal and great Rep!! Might consider this one too... George

@apollo +1 same experiences with king here too george

LOL I dunno WHERE you found that strange "guy" Ken but i found his brother: And to you Ken... maybe you should try the following procedure, if lust creeps over you finding such silly pics on the net: WHHHARRRGARBL!! George

Hmm... ill keep you in mind friend When it comes to "women" and "knowledge" i can be the "forbearance in person" if other "quality characteristics" are present George the Greek

No way Ken!! Lol - you must be kidding

LOL

WOWZA!!! :thumbs: Sounds like good news @baldrick! Maybe i am just that positive because i have no "pending purchases" from Neil lol Anyway i would be glad to read him back again here... and i promise i wont even think about getting "back in the ring" with him Now this reunion would make me even feel better than retrieving the gurl that stole my bike!! George
