calatrava Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 These are QC photos I just received of a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Contemporaine with a Asian 2836-2 clone movement, and a nice custom rose gold rotor. The caseback also appears to be mercifully free of typos, and the watch seems to be in good shape to me. I wanted to share the wonderful photos, and to see if there was anything I missed which is apparent to the eagle eyed members here. Thanks.

watchguy51 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 How'd you get that gold rotor? Looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calatrava Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Yeah, the gold rotor is cool, and is a decent approximation of the gen's. I got this from Mary, after seeing it first on Watcheden: http://www.watcheden.net/vacheron-constantin-classic-swiss-eta-movement-with-white-dial-i-39429-p-1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fischyyy Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Great dress watches, what to you think of this on from Andrew? http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=43&products_id=3206 It seems similar apart from the "Automatic" on the Dial and the Asia 2892-2. I've been looking for a dress watch and would prefer something from Andrew or Josh as they do UK Transfer Shipping for EU customers. I have never had a rep with this cheaper 2892 movement, what do you think of it? Andrew also offers an ETA Version, but the rotor is not decorated and therefore a no-go.

maxman Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 It dosent look like the nine Is centered within the date window. Being that It's only showing 9:10..I doubt that It's because of the change over. I would ask for another pic..maybe more than one and set at different times. A off centered date at the unappropriate time would not be very Vacheron-Constantin like. Good luck...nice looking watch. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I have always loved the class and simplicity of this watch (although I lean more for the silver dial) and it looks to me like these are excellent reproductions. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
