turdfurgeson Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Hi, I am new to this forum and to the replica game. I had been looking for replica watches online for a while, but quickly realized I lacked the means to distinguish between the various operators and wouldn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turdfurgeson Posted December 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Apologies for the dust on the watches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Hi Turd, thx for sharing your experience on that purchase. I'm glad you're satisfied both by Sillix and the VCO. I love this watch, but was hesitating recommending it to some people, due to its bracelet resizing problems. I understand from your expereince that either the problem was solved, or you had the chance to find a real watchsmith, knowing what he's doing I'm a bit jealous on your VCO, as the AR coating is definitely what was missing on the black model. good choice ! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Very good choice for the first rep. VCO is such a great watch... this has been on my list for a long time. Enjoy... and welcome to the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Welcome to the forum, and what a great write up, a pleasure to read! As with By-tor, this watch is on my list, and after these pics I am going to have to bite the bullet and order this now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yt74 Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Thanks for the review, it was great, nice watch! BTW, I'll take the The-Rapists for a 1000 Alex... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyphis Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Great review. The VCO is on my 2008 short list BTW, does the VCO exist as a TT? I thought I saw one once as a rep, although I don't think it appears on the manufacturer site. The TT look was awesome on the bracelet if I remember correctly (which I probably don't) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Welcome to RWG! I hope you'll find it as informative and exciting as I have in the few short months I've been a member!! Beautiful watch! I was able to examine a ladies VC and was fascinated by the beauty and precision with which each instrument has been carefully, almost lovingly, created. That's a tough quality to instill in a rep, but this sure comes close! Wear it well!! Shundi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Thanks for sharing. I have this same watch and think it is a great value for the money. Couple of tips I wanted to share re: the bracelet. 1.) don't be afraid of the screws ;I haveremoved every screw in the watch, no issueswhat so ever, just need therightsize screwdriver. Wrong size and you will likely strip a screw head. This is one of the easiest watches to resize for the bracelet. Tiny screw on 1 side holds a pin in the middle. Wish it had a micro adjustment though.... 2.) Remove and wash the bracelet, mine was pretty dirty,dull and not very smooth. After a good washing with dish soap, followed by a WD-40 bath ina bagof oil plus a good Mother's Car Polish the bracelet looks and feel so much better. 3.) Maybe most important, my screw head tips kept sticking out when I would wear the watch. Looked fine in the morning and then by 3Pm or so Iwould look down and see2 screw heads peeking out. I stopped wearing it for a couple of weeks as a result. Never lost a screw or pin but thoughtI would . Maybe it was all that WD-40? My solution: too out each screw and put Blue Loctite 232 on the threads. Since doing that not one screw has gotten loose and looks as good at 8 AMas late at night. Guess only issue isnow resizing it could be very difficult,butif it fits andyou don't plan on selling it,it is a must do step with this watch. If ascrew falls outthe entirepin will follow and your watch will fall to thefloor and either break or be embarrassing. Cheers, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
