Richard Tracy Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 is this the VACS006???No.. that's his old 38mm model,.. the one with the big dial numbers and markers, non-beveled date window, fat hands, and serial numbers 49150-785384. It's the watch dial that you used to transplant your cross from. Hey Kruzer,.. Congrats ! You are going to Love this Watch ! I haven't been able to take it off since I first received it ! It's seriously my favorite rep of all times... No problem Stephanie,.. just doing my bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tracy Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Hi Dluddy,.. I did take one,. find it on the 2nd to last post on page one... Bad photo however and looks like it's paint, and mis-aligned,.. but it's not,.. it's engraved to perfection and aligns spot on when I wear the watch. Coolfire, I will take a closer look and let you know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drop Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Hey RT, thanks for checking the movement - I really appreciate it. Hopefully I'll have some white dial pics to share soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbie Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Hey Jumbie,.. this piece is a must have,.. seriously, you will love it ! I know. I want. I want. Unfortunately, I can't afford. Still a poor student who just splurged on a gen watch for his mom (split with my sister) for her 50th. Treated myself to the Tag Link and now I have to wait a bit before I can buy some more reps. I have some cash saved but it would be irresponsible to spend it right now. Plus, have an engagement in my future. After 8 years, I think the gal deserves some commitment. So enjoy your VC Overseas doubly for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Well, actually I haven't ordered it from him yet. Still waiting for the response to my PM but I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbie Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 No worries Jumbe,.. you may find one on the used market at a cut rate price... Two more years of rotations and 3-5 years of residency and I can buy all the reps I want. Wait, that's a looonnng time. *sobs* The rep business might be out of commission by then. Heh, it's not so bad. I can buy a little treat for myself here and there; just not at this moment. Plus, the old man (bless his heart) is gonna spring for a gen Omega (or whatever I want pretty much but I don't want to be greedy) when I grad but I'm thinking that I'd rather get a couple watches and get them serviced (so they'll last), modded, etc. rather than just one. Anyway, that's all OT so I'm done. Again, beautiful watch!! Wear it well and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbie Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Dumb question - would the serial number that was posted be the same for the white version or would it be a different one because of the colour of the face? Just doing some research now even though not planning to buy for a while. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply gloating.. Thanks anyways RT, Great posting at a great time for me. I was just floundering around between three sites trying to get a handle on this exact watch. I hate having to move forward with older postings. Dealers and manufacturers can change quality so quickly. There is nothing like the feeling of actually knowing which rep you feel best about buying. Hmmm... White? Black? White? Black?...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archibald Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Here are the caseback shots I posted a few months ago--I posted them as an example of why it's pointless to worry about these kinds of things. It's utterly unrealistic to expect the back of a $275 watch to look like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Kind of like the 082. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty47 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 RT, Thanks for starting a great post and for your answers to my PM. I sent Jay an e-mail this morning telling him I am rady to order. I didn't hear anything so I ordered from his website and asked for PayPal info. I am waiting to hear back and will let everyone know when I do. I can't wait. This looks like an awesome piece.

Lefty47 I received an e-mail from Silix Watch this morning with PayPal and pricing info. I will order mine today and let everyone know the results. I am as excited about this order as I have ever been about any rep. It will be my 33rd and the first from Silix. Lefty47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tracy Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Thanks for the caseback photo Arch ! Looking at the caseback on this model, the only difference I can see is the gen has a bit more detail on the lower section of the ship.... other than that it's pretty accurate including the ocean waves and dark sky.. I'm glad other watches are on the way to members here,..as I will be glad when we get some better photos up of this gem, as my camcorder photos don't do it justice what-so-ever !
