    LOL

    Nice find!

    Seems like the manufacturers are having also QC

    issues - not just our dealers :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    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

  9. Gen Parts Audemars & Vacheron inquiry

    @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" :)

    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.

  11. Gen Parts Audemars & Vacheron inquiry

    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!

    "quality characteristics" are present :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    WOWZA!!! :thumbs: :thumbs: :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!! :(
