Vaccum Watch Question

[cyberstven]

Hey everyone. I recently bought a Vaccum fully modded 113 for my brother. I just got the watch a few days ago and the watch looks great. Anyways, I am giving him the watch this Saturday but I was thinking, I dont know what to tell him is so great about a "Vaccum Modded Watch". I dont even know what fully modded means. Is there anyone who can help me and specify what Vaccum has done to the watch and what exactly it affects. e.g the watch is superlumed with blah blah which means that it glows a lot longer like the gen. Basically, I just want to explain what is different about this watch compared to most reps. If anyone could help me out, that would be much appreciated! Thanks so much as always.

The best you can do is asking Vac about his watch...and if you have some pics it will help us too.. :wink: front and back :wink:

modded....

trying to improve, upgrade all the flaws os a rep to get the watch closer to the gen.

better lume, better Crownguard, thicker crown, flush lever pin, flush canion pin, better crystal....etc.

Hey guys thanks for the information. I included links to the pictures Vac took of the watch. The only 2 things that concern me with the watch is that 1. The lever is very loose (i tohught this would be fixed), and 2. i feel like the lume seems to overlap some of the surrounding lines. I know this is just a replica, and if thisis not unusual for one of Vacs fully modded watches, I dont care at all. I just want to makesure with the experts that everything is up to standards. Dont get me wrong, I still think the watch looks absolutely great! Anyways, any additional information I could give to my brother about the watch would be great. Thanks again!

Well you shouldn't just say do me up. Make sure he clarfies exactly what he's going to do and make sure you get your old parts back.

Can't see the pics...

I agree with Fakester, though. You probably should have discussed with vac exactly what he was going to do.

This is NOT to be read as me doubting that vac did a bang-up job, however.

I've used vac a TON and have always been more than satisfied.

Ditto here Vac's work for me has always been top notch. But I go over with him all work that is going to be performed, in fact he usually gives me a call during the process to let me know how things are progressing, or to see how I want him to proceed if an issue has come up. There is no substitute for communication, it will ensure the final product is what you were expecting.
