yellomen Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Great shots. Love the box. My VCO crystal is due back with AR any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had The Zigmeister do the superlume and cross transplant, and don't regret it one bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craytonic Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Very nice; the real box has a latch (or at least mine does). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pix Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSlayer Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triosLescano Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 BAD The maltese croix is veru bad Is there a rep VC whit correct croix ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
