seafoam Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Back from Vac Hey that rhymes So I just got my 1655 (bought from redwatch with a new NATO from Timefactors) back from vaccum for a little tlc and I must say I am impressed (again) by his work, pricing and professionalism. I've had 2 watches lumed by Vac and figured I'd check out his watch repair service and Vac comes thru again. Watch needed some date wheel attention and general tlc and it got it. Thanks Vac. Here are a few photos: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paralizer Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Where did you get that case/dial? Bezel looks thin and dial looks undersized. Lume work looks great. But just asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Where did you get that case/dial? Bezel looks thin and dial looks undersized. Lume work looks great. But just asking It's a Phong dial (according to red) and a Josh case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Maybe i should be more specific. The lume on this watch was not done by Vac, only the service. I just thought I'd post some photos for s.n.g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Very nice, seafoam. Date mag looks great. I think there are something like four variations of the gen watch. That Robert Maron pic is interesting- note the serifs on the bezel numbers- a very pristine example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
