Surprised that more dealers haven't used this topic as a sales brochure.. Maybe it's still early however...

Hey,.. Thanks Ubi,.. Now I can order another and wear it ! I should have known that you would find the answer !

Searching through the web to find cream dial Nautiluses in stainless,.. but it seems there are only two toned models.. or the full gold... Did find a Couple of interesting Nautilus pages though.. http://kronosclub.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html and http://www.patek.com/html/en/press/press_nautilus_2006.html Did you know there was a 43mm Version,.. and that the dial color is supposed to graduate in color ?

Thanks Euno,.. 42mm is the new 40mm, and for me.. Perfect ! Large enough to be in style and small enough to be professional... What is the thickness ? If one owned a VC Overseas, a Nautilus Jumbo, a Royal Oak Jumbo,.... they would have three of a kind from the top three watchmakers in the world.... Though with my wrist size, the Royal Oak would have to be on leather, as the metal deployant is too long, which creates this corner along the bottom left edge of the band..

I'm sure he will, though mine was the first order and was actually I just found out, sourced, and I have the first one, so he's ordering more... and the photos will come from them.. Regarding the AR,.. Chieftang & Flavor Flav are doing excellent work in that area,.. and I'm sure much higher quality AR than what the rep manufacturers can do.. Think I will stick with them,.. though Jay is looking into getting it done later,..I'm sure it will be a while and not worth waiting for, since we have our guys here... Not to mention that these models, due to their accuracy may end up like the old factory reps... discovered by the law then destroyed by steam roller, or forced out of production .. So I would say that if you love the VC Overseas.. get these fast or possibly lose out forever..

Never mind... I was thinking Nautilus....

Hey Eunomians,.. what is the size of your's..?

I must admit .. this post confused me as well...

I have loved watches since I was a kid, and my Grandfather gave me his gold railroad pocket watch to hold. Used to give watches to my girlfriends as a teen, verses rings,.. saying 'our heartbeats are now in sync'.. Though I have sold off every one of my watches from time to time, saving only one,.. my love for them has remained like a coal that only needed a breeze,.. and now I am at a point where I only need about five pieces to make me happy but I still love watches in general, love speaking about them, thinking about them seeing and holding them...and will always... Don't think that any real watch lover will ever lose that feeling,.. so if you are a genuine time freak like some of the rest of us,... then something else is wrong in your life and you are trying to hurt yourself by depriving yourself of something you love... if not, then all infatuations will fade in time.. Whatever it is,.. please discover it and keep us posted,..as if nothing else, you have friends here..

Hi,.. is yours a Gen ? If so,.. please take some caseback photos for us.. Curious to see the difference.. Yes this watch is also for me the most comfortable I have owned,.. Every other metal bracelet watch I had previously was swapped out for leather for reasons of comfort,.. but this one feels perfect... edges on every surface smooth as silk, short length & curved deployant, and also balanced in design like no other... I slept in it and never knew it was there.. I just forgot I had it on... As for accuracy...Still it hasn't lost a minute,.. gained only about 5 seconds in four days,.. Amazing !

Sorry,.. I think I have said too much already,.. just trying to save some members money.. however it would be a quite a wait so maybe it's best to let go if you have the funds to do so.. Seeking a cream face model myself, if I can get it in stainless with gold hands & markers on brown croc... don't know or really care about the accuracy of such a model,..Just would love to own one..

I would like to see some caseback comparisons, if you can locate some,.. Though, lucky for me casebacks are not a real concern, as long as there are no mis-spellings, misplaced exibition glassbacks or incorrect, or sloppy image ingravings... Thanks...

Beautiful ! You guys should wait however,..before you all pay mbw prices.. I hear someone is building a few different models..of the Nautilus..

Here are the caseback photos I promised.. Please note that the metal is not as in any way un-refined,.. the camera just has it's limitations.. I also include some other views that are a bit better than yesterday as I get used to manipulating this camcorder...

Thanks for posting,.. I noticed all the alignment problems in the other reviews, and that is one issue that I can't get past.. as to me it speaks 'fake' louder than any.. There may be a way to straighten them however.. as I was able to do that with my Gst.. Too bad we can't trade in our older versions for the newer releases when they come out,.. that way these purchases that fuel the machines for updated models, would not be easier on the wallet.. though a new dial replacement would work as well...

Fantastic Euno... I got mine in Four days,.. ! I know great photos are coming now..! For anyone new to VC Overseas... One thing about these Overseas is photos can't fully capture their beauty. ... when you see those dial numbers and the way it's set up.. really not so impressive,.. but in hand,..that is when the watch POPS in a subtle yet definite way ! The contrast between polished and brushed metal artfully worked throughout the watch case and band, make for quick glimmers, that catch the eye of anyone near by,.. Upon closer inspection noting all the maltese symbols built into the piece from the bezel, the crown, the sections in going down the middle of the band, it's the quintessential Vacheron and should be their flagship model. The way you can wear it anywhere, though it's dressy, it's also rugged in a manner, thanks to the brushed areas, and the masculine way the watch and band is put together,.. also classic, yet also contemporary, a true masterpiece from the first and oldest watchmaker in the world that also has laid claim to the most expensive watch in the world. Yeah,..this VC was so impressive, it inspired me to change my avatar !

I really haven't compared the casebacks, other than the numbers.. but I will try to take some photos 2morrow and you take judge for yourself. You guys rarely see me get hyper-excited about a watch and I have owned just about every one,... but I'm really jazzed about this time piece,.. haven't been so impressed since I first strapped on my oldcase 196,.. but this one is much, much better ! Can't wait for the white dial model to get in...! Ubi, you have to get this watch ! .. by the way I may have good newz for you about a new build from Jay....

Great ! Looking forward to some good photos...

Well you really can't tell how good this watch looks by those lousy photos,.. but believe me this piece is the best overall watch I have owned, not just in looks but in material, QC and balance. It's heavy but, not top heavy if you know what I mean.. the weight of the watch and way the band is constructed and balanced, plus the fit and finish, especially the deployant's smooth, round edges, curvature and short length, equal out to where I feels like a metal hand gently gripping my wrist that is the same weight from top to bottom, east to west, and I don't have that need to adjust it every few minutes or get that irritating indentation from the deployment digging into my wrist. The numbers are 47040-794994 I hope someone gets one soon that has a better camera than I do.. I'm doing the watch a huge injustice but trying to make up for it with my words,.. though a great picture tells a thousand words,... Tell Jay I sent you for hand selection...

I paid what he was charging for his older 42mm version http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1469 as he didn't seem to know it as an updated model. Neither did I when I ordered, as I also had him include the dial from his 38mm model so I could transplant the cross... then update the clasp later..as the model he has posted has the small cross, the older style clasp... and a *date window that is too close to the outer edge..{*an issue I was going to live with} It was a complete shock when I opened the package... I thought it was a gen... because all those issues were aleady solved,.. then I thought maybe he did the mods for me,.. but that was not the case either, as the caseback numbers were differrent than any of the other two existing models from Josh/Sash or King/*Jay {*his previous model}. Hey Rocket, Yes, other dealers will probably get them, but these are Chinese, not Taiwanese so Jay/King will have them first,.. Thing is, Jay beats all others in price and post sales service.. and I am through with the Triad,.. I say 'Tri' because Angus in my eyes is worthy of my business..

I'm ordering a white one as well... Jay is requesting them but as of now only has black.. I think after I receive the white one,...I'm through,... Two Overseas along with my Jlc memovox alarm.. and a Seiko diver for sport will be all I need...That is until the Chrono version comes out. I'm also requesting Jay to produce some croc bands for these Overseas models,.. which I will place a brown on the white model.. By the way the watch has only gained 2 seconds in two days... Amazing accuracy.

Hey Guys,... Kruzer, the dial is fully texturized, with the proper gloss,.. I just can't capture the beauty with this camera. Very high quality dial,.. as is all the material on this piece. This is my 2nd overseas and the best by far....! Emuozz, agree with you about the window bevel however it is closer than previously and that's an issue that I can live with pretty easily as it is at least refined. Regarding the band, It did give me a bit of a sweat as it seems that one or two screws were wound into holes that were a bit tight.. which required me to use oil, patience, and a small set of needle nose pliers on one of the them, to grip both the screw driver, then the screw head once removed to the point of reaching it. That's however an issue that I think will remain in replicas...as it's very difficult to drill exact in high grade steel,..but I didn't let it stop me from getting to wear this baby or allow me to slip & scratch it in any way...

Hey gang,.. As I have sold my Macro digital, I was able to use my camcorder to obtain some photos which are, I warn you bad, but allows you to see what you need to... As I said before, this 42mm model has the correct Maltese Cross already in place. The date window is also triangular and beveled. The hands are also closer to gen in shape and I believe thickness. I welcome your eagle eye comments as to the rest,.. though out of 120 or so watches, this one is the most overall perfect piece I have owned,.. it's Beautiful in QC, Material, and Balances on my wrist for a perfect fit. It only needs AR to bring it to where I need to be.... Don't let the bad photos fool you.. this watch is Gorgeous !!! Compare to double photo of the gens... See my last post down the thread for CaseBack and band Photos....

Switch out the clasp, and you have another watch for parts, including an extra movement,.. Good deal !

Beautiful !! I wish I had the bone to handle that baby !
