triosLescano Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hows this one? This is the latest version from silix. Thanks for answer I have an inquiry, is this Overseas identical to best rep (from precioustime, trusty, perfectClones ecc..) whit a correct cross or is it another rep ? I value for example the overseas of Precioustime-uk-com very good. If Silix is identical I think that is the best, but if it is not identical I have the question if to buy good quality Overseas precious whit bad cross or medium quality Silix whit good cross What is your idea about this question ?

Fidestro Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 The Silix watch pictured above is missing the accent above Geneve. I guess pick your flaw that bothers you most and avoid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 If the accent mark above the "E" in "GENEVE" bothers you much, then this watch is not for you. The corrected bracelet and AR should be enough to get the version pictured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Can anyone comment on the shape of the hands on the Silix version? I'm not too familiar with this model, but it strikes me that these hands seem to "pointy". Maybe there was a gen version with hands like this?

I'm not too familiar with this model, but it strikes me that these hands seem to "pointy". Maybe there was a gen version with hands like this? The hands are a tad bit too "pointy" at the tips. And while we're at the hands, the ends of both hands where they meet the posts are flat on the luminous edges where they should be slightly angled. They're highly unnoticeable unless viewed under close (and I mean CLOSE) inspection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I don't know, the Silix hands kill it for me. For cmparison, here is a first generation VCO from Eddie Lee. Perfect in all ways other than the cross. This one has been relumed and has the Double AR from Chieftang. Only thing left is the cross transplant from a Silix dial which is next up.

That's a stellar piece, D. The one that caught my attention, and started me on the quest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triosLescano Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I have know this The rep of precioustime/trusty/perfectclones is very good bau has a bad croix The rep of silix is another rep, croix is good but other parts are not good If you desire a Overseas what prefer ? PS For me is impossible buy the two reps and modding one whit croix of other, the best solution. I am not good in modding and in my town there is not a watchmaster that accept to modifi a rep !!!

AP Pete Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Trios, I did the following. You may want to consider doing the same. I bought a watch from Perfect & also bought a dial only from Silix. I am going to get the cross transplanted from the Silix dial to Perfect's watch & get the dial super lumed. The remaining flaw is the lack of a trapazoidal date window apperature. Hey, you can't get 100% perfect, But 98% is not bad : AP Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hi, Pete, would you mind giving us an idea of the dial cost ? I too have the first generation VCO which I had just AR coated, therefore the cross mod is interesting. Pity also that the datewindow shape is not correct on mine. Ideally we should transplant Silix's complete dial, then replace the GENEVE by GEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
