Guys and Gals

Getting these QC pics from Tony. Does this look ok to everyone? Is this the "best"version that I asked for? looking through other people's pics in this forum seems like everyone's VCO looks different... Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Left is the gen - I guess it depends how good you need it to be and what you paid, but it seems to be a decent rep - there are several differences when they are placed side by side like this, but you know ...

The hour markers are a little different, but that's nitpicking, imo .....

and the bezel numbers too .... personally I think the markers are nicer on the rep!

... of course, that's not what's being asked though :)

it's certainly loads better than the quartz one!

Yes, this is the best currently available version. Out of curiosity, who is Tony, and how much did you pay for this?

Tony is asian7750, so this IS the current best version?

Something with the hour marker and the date window is bugging me

The date window is fine, it's too beveled but it has the correct trapezoidal shape, and the dial is the best one currently available, as is the crown, case and bracelet. However, you're right that the three hands are off, and the caseback is not one of the better ones. One of the problems I've seen with VCO replicas is that they're not very consistent and seem to consist of a hodge podge of parts.

I think the biggest flaw that would bug me most are the hands, but other than that, it's a really nice rep!
