As a Beuchat dealer we were told by them that the old VX-10 second stage was
made by apeks and the first stage is made in house in France by them. The
new VX-10 evolution first and second are now both made in house in France.
The new VX-10 evolution second stage is supposed to bench test better than
the old VX-10 (apeks) second stage.
