XF Overseas Ultra Thin 2000V is OUT!

I asked my watchmaker to grease the rotor. When he put the rotor in his liquid (not sure what it is), the letters just removed Now I'm thinking about engrave something personally in the rotor

That's super odd. I thought the lettering was metal

Seems the letter just glued on the rotor.

That's crazy. Valuable lesson, I guess

Finishing level of the rotor is not very well (edges in the round and triangle) so loss of the letter is OK with me, haha

So these are the buckles that i've sourced. Look good to me.

And i think 18mm buckle would work better than a 20mm one. The watch is thin so more taper on the strap would look more elegant.

One of your sweet grey alcantara would suite that beauty well

Hi guys, I finished my project, hurra'! :drinks_cheers:
Fortunately I found someone you could help me out. Here the Vacheron 2000V with original calibre 1120 with Geneve Hallmark. :lovestruck:

What do you think about it? Do you like it?

Let me know!

That's beautiful piece.
Any source that you can suggest for cal 1120?

I bought it on ebay and it was not cheap (around 2000 USD), you could also buy an old Vacheron ultra thin dress watch at around 3000 USD, even a 1121 calibre would be fine.

Thanks for your rep. I'm looking but cannot see any cal 1120 alone on ebay at the moment.

If an old VC ultra thin dress around 3000, I may raise 1000 USD as I can source an old 42042 overseas gen 1 for 4000 USD in my country.

It makes sense to me, I´m just in love with 2000v so I wanted an original calibre inside even if it was a bit expensive.

Hey guys I just purchased my first rep, VC 2000v, and the QC just came in. Is it proper to post the photos and ask everyone’s opinion?

No this is not how it works here

Killer watch!
As I told to the owner of this beauty, the VC 2000v is much more classier than any other ultra thin steel sports watch.
Color difference from case to bracelet can be seen cause it’s been plated in white gold.

I'm pretty sure gen is grey gold so it doesn't have that yellow hue

Gotta do what people asks to do.. Could have been grey, all it needs is rhodium plate on top of it
Owner wanted the yellowish hue

Hey guys, so long overdue update on strap situation. In our drive to make the strap as thin as possible, preferably it should continue the case profile just like the bracelet does. One way would be to use metal but it is just unfeasible. You'd need moq of at least 1000 pieces to start such a project and it would take even longer so we went for composite plastics. Unfortunately the available material would not offer enough stability given the small thickness so we had to find something stronger and we did find it. It took some time of course and covid doesn't help too, with shipping and handling being slow everywhere.

No long story short. We got the needed plastic. The inserts should be ready in a couple of days and we start on the strap. Stay tuned
