Seltea Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 I received this week a White VCO dial to swap into a black faced Watch that was sent in error. The Black face is the new upgraded V4 version. Somehow this white dial looks different. The hour numbers look like they are a different shape and the Cross is different (more angular). Also the ' mark which is missing on the e in Geneve for the V4 is on this one. Is this a poorer copy ?
dluddy Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 Looks good to me? The Cross is the right size which is the usual flaw.
luisik Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 I think you got the best dial available now without mods...
coolfire Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 Who did you get this from? It sure looks great...
tobico Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 it looks great, which dealer did you get it from? do they havge a black dial?
HauteHippie Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 This dial leaves a bit to be desired IMO. The honeycomb texture is too subdued, the trapezoidal date window too exagerated, the font a bit off, the 12, 3, 6, 9 markers too thin, and the color too white... But the VCO rep is still a nice watch.
Craytonic Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 I am w/ chieftang; I prefer the other current dial.
Seltea Posted September 16, 2007 Author Report Posted September 16, 2007 I got this from Silix. I originally ordered the White but he sent me the Black and although it took a few weeks, he sent me this White dial. I think the hour numbers are too thin especially the ends of the 3, 6 and 9. My dilemma is that I want to superlume the dial, but which one - I prefer the White one but think the Black one is closer to the gen.
thelawnmowerman Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 Can you let me know who has the other 'current dial?' please and secondly whoever has it, is their white dial better in the areas you mentioned , as I have too many black dial watches , Ingenieur, Nautilus, APRO jumbo etc, you advice would be appreciated.
Craytonic Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 The tip of the hands is much better on the "other version." I got mine from ruby. Josh & Andrew have them also but charge a boatload more. Date window is too sloped on the Silix one. It does have a better cross though. The white silix one looks bleached out to my eye.
thelawnmowerman Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 Craytonic what colour is your VC
Craytonic Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 Craytonic what colour is your VC I have both (black & white)
Craytonic Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 There is an accent missing on the front of the dial on the new silix one as well.
