Akira 0 Posted March 29, 2011 Hey guys. I asked for a VC with Asian 2824 The movement on the pics looks like a Asian 2892-2 to me. What do you think? 2892-2 on Trusty site: Pics I received What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeNnY 29 Posted March 29, 2011 great ! also small hint would be the ball bearings on the rotor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akira 0 Posted March 29, 2011 great ! :o also small hint would be the ball bearings on the rotor. I'm such a noob I was confused because the swiss eta he showed me had a golden rotor and looked a little different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted March 29, 2011 worry you not Akira, learn you will :o also another thing, on the first picture, the rotor, the Vacheron Constantine looks like a sticker on the rotor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverspeed 10 Posted March 29, 2011 That doesn't look like a 2892 to me, the 2892 has a very different rotor bearing than the movement in your pic. I can't remember ever seeing a 2892 with 1 single rotor screw. the one in your pic looks like a 2824 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ska 11 Posted March 29, 2011 Flo - I want to see a picture of the front!!!!! I love VC watches SO much!! that's definitely a 2824 by the way so nothing to worry about! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prestigewatchco 2 Posted March 29, 2011 Doesn't look like a 2892 the 2892 has a 3 screw rotor and a bigger bearing assembly these are 1st picture 21j Asian the other pictures 2828/36 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sconehead 5 Posted March 29, 2011 It's looks like an ST 21 (99% sure), as used in the V2 SOH, it's a well made and assembled movement imo, all the reps I own powered by it are spookily accurate too... here's a link, http://www.automaticwatchreview.com/ edit: Robert's correct, the first pic is of a 21j movement...

Akira 0 Posted March 30, 2011 Since I'm a total noob to watch movements and plain stupid for not having seen the quite obvious like Robert pointed out yesterday....I'd need your help again. The said watch is out of stock with the silver dial, but available with a cream dial. The only version of a cream dial I found on the net is this version: Don't know if the seller is legit and if there ever was a cream dial version. http://www.europeanwatch.com/13685.htm#_self Does this movement look like the gen to you too or am I wrong again? picture of the gen movement: Is the watch from europeanwatch a replica? Thanks for your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted March 30, 2011 Is the watch from europeanwatch a replica? Gen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akira 0 Posted March 30, 2011 Is the watch from europeanwatch a replica? Gen There is no offical statement on their site or elsewhere saying there was a cream dial version. That's why I'm confused a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted March 30, 2011 I would steer clear of this to be honest I have no idea what that movement is but it looks very close to the Gen movement too close to be truthful. Because you don't see it on the Patek site is misleading they made 1000's of watches that are not currently on their site so nothing is impossible their site is really only for new models rather than a reference site Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverspeed 10 Posted March 30, 2011 Is the watch from europeanwatch a replica? Nope...Europeanwatch is a well known seller of gens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted March 30, 2011 I would steer clear of this to be honest I have no idea what that movement is but it looks very close to the Gen movement too close to be truthful. That's a legitimate watch store. First, it's a retail store in Massachusetts and second, there's no implication in any way that they aren't selling anything but genuine watches.

Thanks for the help...I just don't wanted to buy a fantasy model of the VC. I hope my father likes the cream dial...seems like it's an much older version than the current white face and silver faced dials. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ska 11 Posted March 30, 2011 I think it looks beautiful - really classic. When they rep the contemporaine then I might have to get one of these. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
