damn bro, this actually look clean, my wallet is itch, hahhahh

I should also post some photos of my new acquisition. Very impressed with this model. It's restored my faith in reps as I was disappointed with the factories abilities to make versions that were 1:1 thickness as gens. This comes pretty darn close.

Hello from Italy guys, I´m new here, but I was already following you. I bought the 2000v Overseas as well and I´m really happy, I´m even thinking to buy a Vacheron calibre 1121 and if I found someone here would like to franken it. What do you think, does it make sense? I´m new to replicas. If you could help me I would appreciate it.
I don´t even know if it fits in the case of 2000V (but I think it should fit) and if someone can make it happen.
Please let me know. Thank you.
Giovanni

A 1121 looks the same diameter but a bit thinner than the miyota 9015 - it will have different crown height so potentially you'd need new taller pinions (if they exist) plus you will need hands to fit this movement as the ones in the rep are for miyota. I'd leave as is if I were you :)

Thanks Parto, then you think it will be difficult to realize, but I think a good modder would be able to do it. The hands so far I know can be modified. As I said I´m not an expert, but if someone knows a good modder to get in touch with please let me know. I would like to know your opinion about this project as well, I think the 1121 calibre will look nice through the back glass of the 2000V. Let me know. Thank you

Ordering a XF Overseas 2000V gray dial today. I’m hoping for a XF Overseas 4500V blue or black dial release in the near future.

There are a few threads on reducing the noise from a miyota 9015 - I use moebius 8200 which works well for me.

I have a gen Vacheron and it makes a moderately loud but smooth whizzing noise in the rotor. This is normal on the gen. On the reps I’ve noticed it does the same but it’s more of an unrefined grinding type noise which is bad to listen to. The goal is not to truly silence the rotor but to just have it spin freely and smoothly with a gen like soft sound.

Hello,

thank you for your response.

Can you post a video off the noise of the gen ?

thank you

I ordered this from m TD but it was a QC reject because of misaligned 12 o’clock numerals. Waiting on new QC pics

Oke guys, looks like like is on my side this year as i have got the watch ahead of estimated time of arrival. So starting the work on the strap today.

Watch is great, definitely will be keeping beyond the strap project. Hands, dial, crystal and of course the thin-ness makes it so cool. The bracelet is a let down though. Reminded me of my first 15400 rep that i got back in 2014. Hair pulling and pretty rough surfaces overall. Luckily there will be a strap available soon :)

Watching eagerly, I might get the leather. Even my XF AP 15202 bracelet had the same issues with rough edges and hair pulling (ended up sanding it).

That's strange, my bracelet is amazing, best i've had on a rep. Maybe the last batches are worse
