jfreeman420 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 My white dial version should be here any minute. I'm looking out the window for the postal carrier right now. I will post a full review and pics today or tommorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takashi Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Just got this watch this morning! Pretty happy with the whole watch. Screw on the bracelet is pretty poor in quality. Not that easy to resize the bracelet. Here is the pictures: As what I can see, AR seems to be double side but very thinly coated. Nothing like Hublot Big Bang but it's very effective to give the dial "pop out" effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangers158 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Bro, take a look at the endlinks attached to the case at the 12 o'clock side. It has a big gap. I had 2 of this VC overseas without AR some 6 months ago. The problem with this watch is that these endlinks just detach itself after a while and the screws holding them down gets stripped very easily. The screw holes are very badly tapped thats why he screws get stripped so easily. In the end I got to epoxy it and screw it down with larger screws. Maybe you should get it changed with silix.

Can you explain how, exactly, you applied the epoxy and got the larger screws in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I am wearing mine as we speak. I don't have that gap in the end links. I did have a mishap while sizing the bracelet. The screw wouldn't go all the way in and was left with two threads sticking out. The screw head split and half broke off. I took the dremel and grinded it down flush. Not that big of a deal but this braceelt is tricky. I see that the braceelt is free flowing with the top threaded screws but it makes it a [censored] to screw in. I'm quite happy. I think the AR is just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Just got mines this morning, I agree with jfreeman, the AR is spot on and fortunately the bracelet fit me exactly with no sizing needed. Mine doesn't have any gaps either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vlydog Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 @ LordRasta: You say your bracelet fits without any adjustment. What size is your wrist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 @ LordRasta: You say your bracelet fits without any adjustment. What size is your wrist? I'm really not sure...but apparently big. Most watches I buy I usually have to remove one link. This watch and my ESQ's, I can wear right out the box. I'd say 8.5" or in that range.

rogerthat Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 VC Overseas here too. Newest version from Silix, black dial. cross looks great and I prefer this date window. Out of box, bracelet fits me too with no links removed, normally I remove 1 link onmy watches and I removed 2 tosize the SFSO. So, I would be concerned if your wrists our over 8" for this bracelet. Think the AR looks great. No gap to report and all of the screws I have touched screw in and out well. No physical imperfections anywhere it looks great. Even edges are smooth. I did take the bracelet off and wash it, lubricate it and polish it and it looks and feels better. My only issue with the screws is they likley need some Locite ; as I noticed 1 is starting to creep out a little and I don't want to lose any. It will be a pain to locite all the screws though. Each link has screws, unlike many bracelets where screws are only on some of the links. Personally I thought the bracelet was going to be shinier than it actually is, IMO would look better/more expensive shinier/more polished but imagine as is is accurate to the Gen. Overall impression: great rep and very comfortable watch due to flat fitting on wrist. AR that this has is a MUST on the black dial. Sometimes from certain angles/lighting, etc... it looks like a $10K watch, but my only negative would be that from some other angles, it can look plain or even "cheap" ; not sure why I feel that way and not becuase it is a rep,I think I would think the same of the Gen. The dial detail is fantastic, don't getmewrong, just thatyou don't see this detail if you are too far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobico Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 thanks for the reply! its a good little review of this VC, since no one really compare this one with the original VC. If we can see the side by side comparism in the future, it will be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot9011 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Got my VCO from Jay a few days ago. The band was easy to resize, thank god. I have the same problem as Takashi with the end link gap though. Makes the watch look really bad. Is there any way to correct this? Or should I contact Jay for a replacement? The bottom end link is perfectly flush with the case. The end link also is loose and impossible to tighten the screws. I worry that its eventually going to come loose like rangers... Any suggestions?
