yellomen Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 I bought the Vacheron Constatin Overseas from another member and since than the crystal was AR coated by Chieftang. Next up is some serious superlume to make this into the complete makeover project Just some nice pixx made on a lazy sunday afternoon
HauteHippie Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Great shots. Love the box. My VCO crystal is due back with AR any day.
yellomen Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Posted February 24, 2008 I bought the box from Angus. It is the most impressive box i've ever seen repped. Superlume would suit the watch very well i guess... and maybe a correct cross on the dial... but who will know except us freaks

I had The Zigmeister do the superlume and cross transplant, and don't regret it one bit.
FxrAndy Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 For asecond there i thought this babe was up for sale, Nice Shots mate, and i can say having seen this one in ther flesh it has no crystal, non what so ever, that i could see any way, the AR is sooooooooooooo good!
dluddy Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Looks like mine . Love that box....Might have to ring up Angus on that one Looks great
Ylfig Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Looks great...now all I want to do is get one!
yellomen Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Posted February 24, 2008 ... cross transplant... Ooohh... than yours is almost ready... But where to get correct cross...
dluddy Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Ooohh... than yours is almost ready... But where to get correct cross... Silix - ask for a dial only
Craytonic Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Very nice; the real box has a latch (or at least mine does).
yellomen Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Posted February 25, 2008 @Cryatonic... could you please post a picture of the gen box?
yellomen Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Posted February 25, 2008 ... the AR is sooooooooooooo good! What AR? There's no crystal and thus no AR
prince458 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 awesome rep and box set ... big fan of VC overseas!!!
Pix Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 Hi YM, I'd like to order this box, but it's not exactly what I'd call cheap. How is it qualitywise ? Mine is on its way to Poland too
DemonSlayer Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 Stunning watch. I would say that Panerai made their bracelet based upon the design on the VC Overseas bracelet. The designs are quite similar.
yellomen Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Posted March 1, 2008 I'd like to order this box, but it's not exactly what I'd call cheap. How is it qualitywise ? Hi Pix, The box is nice and the used materials are nice as well... quality wise quite good, but obviously not as good as an original box. The 'leather' is not propoerly glued to the wood everywhere, but al together it's a nice box. I think the price was around $100,- ... for my it makes this baby complete
triosLescano Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 BAD The maltese croix is veru bad Is there a rep VC whit correct croix ?
yellomen Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Posted March 13, 2008 BAD The maltese croix is veru bad Is there a rep VC whit correct croix ? yes... Silix has a verion with of course other flaws... but a very good cross
HauteHippie Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 yes... Silix has a verion with of course other flaws... but a very good cross A good option is to extract the cross from that Silix dial and transplant onto this dial. I much prefer this dial over even the newer dial with the overly exaggerated trapezoidal date window, which also has a good cross...
