Congrats (and condolences to your wallet in the coming months...)!
I looked and simply can't find a thread I started here last year, regarding my first Vac purchase. I picked up a first gen Golden Pearl with what I thought was an odd blind cap. Of course it was odd - it was wrong, an old Duofold style. Hung on to the pen, and this past February was able to find a perfectly matching blind cap at the LA Pen Show, so exciting (for me). All that was left was the filling system restore. As luck would have it, on the day you post about yours...
I just got it back from Danny Fudge. The pen looks just beautiful, I really feel like this is one of the pens that it all came together on, with patience and perseverance. And I owe a lot of that to the good members here on FPB, who have shared their earned knowledge on the process.
Yay you, yay me!
(Oh, for the record: I suppose I would always prefer the Vacs, if for no other reason than the wide variety of colors, trim, clips. I realize the 51 came at a culture-wide change in aesthetics, but I prefer the earlier pens.)
