millemiglia Posted September 23, 2007 Report Posted September 23, 2007 Isn't it TOO cheap for a genuine SWISS ETA 2824? I remember an old post where a lot of fuss was raised because the cartel sellers were misrepresenting this movement as Swiss although it was a chinese replica (a la Valjoux 7750) Your thoughts?

I remember an old post where a lot of fuss was raised because the cartel sellers were misrepresenting this movement as Swiss although it was a chinese replica (a la Valjoux 7750) Your thoughts? i doubt its a chinese valjoux.. vco is not a chrono movement.. so i'm guessing it is a swiss eta 2824
millemiglia Posted September 23, 2007 Report Posted September 23, 2007 i doubt its a chinese valjoux.. vco is not a chrono movement.. so i'm guessing it is a swiss eta 2824 What I meant is that instead of using a Swiss Eta-2824, its using a chinese replica of the same movement (Asia-2824)
coolfire Posted September 23, 2007 Report Posted September 23, 2007 What I meant is that instead of using a Swiss Eta-2824, its using a chinese replica of the same movement (Asia-2824) RT was the first to confirm that Jay's VC Overseas indeed has the eta 2824 movt inside... I personally have the white dial one (before Jay did the double ar coating) and I can also confirm that mine contains the 2824 movt too... Fyi, Jay's profit margins are lower than the rest...

I don't mind our dealers get their reasonable profit; but I do mind they're not honest..... I always trust my dealer give me the best deal; I won't going to bargain anymore. All I need: send me what I paid for. Best Regards, Raymond

Well then, as long as its a genuine ETA we're all happy
rckh Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 has anyone get the new silix VC oversea? I hear someone said it just only got single AR. I also want to know that. Best Regards, Raymond
Desuetude Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 I hear someone said it just only got single AR. I also want to know that. Best Regards, Raymond I sincerely hope this isn't the case. I really wanted one!
tobico Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 sounds like there is no reviewon this watch yet....
jmt Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 sounds like there is no reviewon this watch yet.... For what it's worth, Joshua says its from a new maker that is very 'immature' and he is not confident of the quality. Also, anyone know if the gen has single, double, or no AR? The one on Joshua's site has no AR.
takashi Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 I will post review as soon as I receive this watch. I ordered on 20 September, shipped via AirMail... should have chosen faster shipping. Anyway, I see one member has already got this piece. dtan888. It comes with double AR as advertised.

runne Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 We will just have to wait for the review of the buyers of this watch. It looks stunning, so hope it delivers in quality and reliability as well!!
b16a2 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 Don't want to add to the speculation, but it would appear from his pictures that the crystal has double AR.
Bravoz Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) it is the same version as his VACS010.. the one with the correct cross.. dial, hands, case and bracelets are all the same i think Is it just me or it's missing the ' on top of the GENEVE Edited October 10, 2007 by Bravoz
maxse Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 yes it is missing the ' accent mark. A big tell IMO
jmt Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 Josh is just crapping on Jay's products... End of... That's why I said "for what it's worth"... you are most likely correct, sir But, the question remains, what kind of AR is on the gen?
takashi Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) Well... bad news. Watch got missing in shipping. Silix is sending me a replacement. The gens appear to have no single sided coating. Edited October 13, 2007 by takashi
jmt Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 So are you saying that the gens have NO AR COATING? Just wanting to fully understand...
runne Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 Well... bad news. Watch got missing in shipping. Silix is sending me a replacement. The gens appear to have no single sided coating. Missing in shipping? Did you get a tracking number on that?
takashi Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 I don't know how it goes but I received an email from Silix that a replacement has been sent. This time I got tracking number, registered air mail. AR coating appears very faint (looks like only single sided coated). Gotta go to an AD and check it out again.
