I agree with Brice...plus we recently escorted this WIS off 3T after several warnings for continually trying to sell on our sales forum without meeting the requirements and using multiple proxy ip's.... ...great watch though for sure but when something appears to be too good to be true it usually is imo....this price is the lowest I have ever seen for a type 1 and it is NOS???....  |

Thanks for clarification, O. When I saw the poster I remembered how he got the boot but wasn't sure if it was kosher to blow him up with his new low post count persona on WUS. I've got you to thank for the blue Type 1 on my wrist at the moment. |

The huge problem with posting in and out of Italy is the stealing... Some people working at post offices and customs got hooks instead of hands  + That I generally observed that watches coming from Italy are far to be the cheapest on the European market... Then the price is ridiculously low and he could certainly sell it much more expensive to some Italians walking by, or on some Italian forum, due to the similar "Italian vintage diver" dial and it's popularity down there. Suspicious for my part... |

Stefano, I don't mean to be rude and I'm not any Sheriff down here, but you should read againg the forum selling rules before you annonce anything:Welcome to the 3T Sales and Trade forum. No point for you to try to make fun out of some comments made previously: You know that many forums members been burned on annonces who seemed "to good to be thrue" . Pushing your price up is not of good help either for your credibility, when you allways try to sell on forums without any solid background there: Meaning, opening a forum inscription just to sell a watch and then maybe disappear after... I don't say that you are a thief: I mean that you should understand that thiefs are often playing the same game. Start by the beginning: Come regulary here and let yourself beeing known first by the members... Then, try a sell. My advice there. |

Thanks Oscar...  It's really taking people for  with this comments alike "Ok, thanks guys for making me understanding that I was announcing too low! Now it's more expensive, then more credible and you will certainly want to buy it!" |

This watch never appealed me anyway...Nothing special inside it. It's all "ever seen" to me, from the dial to the case... Or I'm the only one looking at it like that? |

this particular Vixa as with most Vixas are very collectible ...the Type 1 was a trilogy of 100 each in Blue,Black and Red and sold out quickly...I haven't seen any WIS who owns all 3 colors and they rarely hit the sales forums.They hold their own depending on condition anywhere from $475.-$650. on the secondary market...the one that is FS in this thread comes in a box but the ones that are priced higher came delivered in a Foreign Legion pouch on bracelet with a spare strap. ....The Vixa Type 1 may be simple in design but very well made by a company that is no longer in business...the Italian/German relationship has always been a draw to this brand imo...I have been searching for the Black dial almost 5 years with no luck to complete my Trilogy...Thanks to my Gumba Tony I recently added the Red dial...  |

Exactly Oscar! Had I known TD was thinking of parting with the red I would have liked that one too. I believe the owner of another forum we all know may have the complete trilogy. Will, beyond the exclusivity of the Type-1 there are many things to like about the watch though as you say there is nothing new or revolutionary to be seen. Understand 99% of the watches seen at 3T are using the tried and true ETA movements while a small percentage are true manufacture movements. With the Type-1 I appreciate the unique and beautiful blue dial which is just as clean and classic as anything, the timeless cathedral hands and a well finished and well sized case. Imho these are sublime and desirable looking watches as well as being collectible. Though I haven't had the pleasure of seeing the other dial colors I understand the red (pigeon's blood no?) is rich and wonderful. |

I see Mark...Well, on my side, I'm never been found of cathedral hands...Had a Zeno 8800 "bubble" with those hands: Didn't like so much the hands and sold it. Still no regret. After that, the cyclop isn't so much my cup of tea and after my Marathon SAR, I just never wanted another cyclop: It stand too much in the way for my taste... |
