Love the snowflake!

Dammit--needs pics!!!

Bored @ work...

This is after a paint-mod?

I'm betting "no". Looks like they went back to the V3 crystal. The thickness actually has nothing to do with the distortion on the first V5 crystal--it was because both the top and bottom of the crystal were domes, instead of only domed on the top, like the V3. Looks better than the old V5, GM. Congrats! Any chance of getting a lume shot?...

Very cool! Congrats on a job well done.

Nice!

A, there's always options--what options you have just depend on which physician you talk to. Shoot me a PM and I'll get a personal referral to the best name I can find in your area.

You guys didn't see the newest one soon to be released on their website? Don;t worry--the other one is a fantastic piece too. At least now you know what your next purchase will be as well.

Much luck, my friend. I know it's no consolation but it sounds as bad as my 2008. Take care. EDIT: If you're in Florida, let me know which city & I can hook you up with the best orthopod in your area. I know you know half of my family is in law, but fortunately the other half is in orthopedics.

Same one they've always had--incorrect case-back, etc.--just with an updated dial...

Then this is the one you'll need: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250407882845&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:US:1123

Believe me; I will be reviewing the latest one the second it's ready.

For those having trouble finding it on their page: Appears to be true-to-form gen-like construction on the bezel & inner rings--better than anything I've seen so far. Crystal looks more like gen/V3, case-back shape is 100% accurate on both counts, crowns & tubes look good, case construction looks good, now all that's left to judge for how much of an improvement will be made over previous releases will be the HEV, the dial, and the SEL/lug fit (which should be fine considering the only one they really screwed up on was the V4's SELs). Again; I'm dying to see this completed ASAP...

I just saw the pics of this myself on Tuesday. Hot...very hot. Overall (depending on dial color & dial-print quality) this could be the closest thing to gen--out of the box--to ever hit the Rolex rep world. I'm dying to see progress on the rest of it.

This thread sucks. It's incomplete--where are the pictures of the smelting furnaces that produce the steel? What kind of donuts does Rolex spring for on Monday mornings? How do the watch-smiths f*ck their wives outside of work? TRY HARDER.

Happy birthday!--sorry I missed this one. Lol--I actually know her. Let's just say Melissa is glad to have had a few small-town charges dismissed...

More pics!!

That's some serious time invested...

Are you out on a bender?

Never been a Vacheron fan, but nice review.

Meh...
