  2. Movement is an ETA 2824 and yes, it is a 42mm
  3. From a fellow member here. Unfortunately it appears as though this watch is no longer available anywhere
  4. Vacheron Constantin is one of the oldest, continuously operating swiss manufacturers of watches. They have been in business since 1755. One of VC's biggest claims to fame is the hiring of Georges-Auguste Leschot in 1839. Leschot essentially pioneered serial production of their watches (along the lines of what Henry Ford did with the automobile assembly line) enabling VC to mass produce a very high quality movement in a shorter period of time to their competitors. In 1996, Vacheron Constantin was purchased by Richemont, which also runs Jaeger LeCoultre, IWC, Lange, Cartier, Baume and Mercier, Piaget, and Panerai. It was during this phase that VC developed the Overseas line of sports watches. Before the Overseas, VC had made two other attempts to develop a sports watch. The first one was the Phidias and the second was the 222. Both lines did not take very well at all. The Overses comes in a wide variety of choices. There are five different sizes - 30mm, 34mm, 37mm, 40mm and the 42mm. There are at least 5 different dial choices. You can get the watches in either 18k gold or Stainless Steel. The Deep Stream is a unique model of the watch which comes in the standard watch, a Dual Time model and a Chronograph. What makes the Deep Stream unique is the grey anthracite dial and the bead blasted titanium bezel. Here are a couple of pictures of the gen watch: The replica. I have to say, this is by far the most accurate rep I have ever seen or handled. It is just stunning. I wish the pictures could really capture the quality of this watch. I will just let the pictures I did take do the rest of the talking: Thanks for looking!!
  5. Friday I'm in Love is definitely an understatement. I am still in pure awe of my latest acquisition! The VCO Deep Stream will be on my wrist for a while I think Pictorial Review to come soon
  6. Oh yeah good call on the #2 movement ring adapter! I forgot about that one! For the dial, get your self some dial dots: http://www.ofrei.com..._130.html#16506
  7. Check with stilty. He may have one for you
  8. Just got this one, so I've switched over
  9. Great photo. We just had a similar storm here in Los Angeles as well. Gusts up to 100 + MPH. Caused quite the mess. Some people still don't have power and it's been over a week since the storm. Makes you appreciate the amazing power mother nature has. I still can't believe hurricanes blow so much harder than that. I can't even imagine that. It was quite scary just as it was here.
  10. Thanks! But now I have another issue I decided to be adventurous and dismantled another 2824 that I have here. When I removed the barrel bridge, underneath it was a small, brass spring. I cannot for the life of me figure out how it was attached. Here's some pics for reference:
  11. Definitely the jubilee bracelet and the Ebel Discovery 1911 bracelet is super comfortable as well.
  12. Welcome to the forum! You have found a great community of watch lovers here. Gen or rep, the bottom line is we all share a love of all things horological! Best of luck with your new purchase. That is an excellent first choice
  13. This is exactly why I just LOVE this community!!! Thanks for the suggestions guys!!!! Released the main spring tension and ran the movement through the tunnel demagnetizer and voila!!! Running like a champ now!!!!!!
  14. Not usually a fan of TT watches, but man that one is a beauty!!!! Congrats on the build! Excellent attention to detail!
  15. Wow! Yet another great review & pictorial post that seems to slipped past me! Great write up and excellent photos!!
  16. Great find! Thanks for that. I just bought the 96 page book from Amazon Movement by Guido Mocafico
  17. Good lord those crowns are HUGE!!! Cool piece LHOOQ!!! For some reason I keep gravitating to the MC
  18. I don't know about that as a motorcycle suit, but that would be one heck of a Halloween costume!!! The detail is outstanding!
  19. I will give that a try then. I have an old bergeon tunnel demag which works great. I'll keep my fingers crossed
  20. I think that would be a great gift for your dad. That mesh bracelet looks so good on it. I might try one on my grandfathers bulova as well just to give it a different look
