A future grail - the Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921

 
 By: KMII : September 21st, 2016-06:05
Apart from a well known liking for Chopard and Grand Seiko, there are definitely other brands I regularly follow and where I can certainly imagine myself becoming a customer in the near or perhaps somewhat more distant future. And VC is definitely one of ...  

I totally agree with you on the white metal" rule.

This VC is only wish list Also.

Glad to hear it :) [nt]

Did not know you were a VC man, too :)

 
 By: KMII : September 21st, 2016-06:50
But with such a watch...

I appreciate all exceptional watches.

The brand is a secondary thing. Best, Kari

Laudable attitude :) [nt]

Welcome to the club my friend ;)

The watch from VC to own! Strong presence, charged with heritage and cool looking What more to ask? Bigger movement? But every perfection has it's flaws Yours D

Not quite at the next MPG GTG ;)

 
 By: KMII : September 21st, 2016-06:53
But I guess at some point - glad to hear you see it the same way. And the movement size is not a killer criterion for me

A beauty and, IMO, a classic.

I also share the white metals rule with you.

I guess it depends on taste :)

 
 By: KMII : September 21st, 2016-09:30
And for some people coloured golds look good, I simply don\'t see myself wearing it generally but there are always exceptions - like the 1921

Of course it depends on personal taste.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : September 21st, 2016-09:33
I don\'t own any Warm color watches.

Nor do I :)

But Damjan, for instance swears by them

He is a real 'Macan'.

ROFL

So he\'s frequently in Montenegro then?

Good one! Too funny! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : September 21st, 2016-12:14

Yes...red then yellow then Pt and

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : September 21st, 2016-10:47
wg I the end....but as they say...tastes are not something we should argue about...and of course color and type of metal hugely depends on model of watch in question Cheers

Agreed :)

 
 By: KMII : September 21st, 2016-11:48
We are all somewhat different and it depends on the watch, too...

I really love this timepiece but, after tried one, it is unfortunately a little bit too big for my chicken wrist. I have to find the first version (it is a joke)... but I need to be lucky (less than 15 were made), patient and rich :-)

 
 By: Alkiro1 : September 21st, 2016-07:40
Here is a picture of the original piece (right of course) and the re-edition made some years ago (left) for the VC NY boutique in limited edition of 64 pieces. Credit: Best wishes Alkiro ...  

If you ever do...

 
 By: KMII : September 21st, 2016-09:31
We\'ll want to know all about it

Well, I was very close to one some weeks ago. But it was at the VC Geneva flagship for an exhibition of rare timepieces ;-)

 
 By: Alkiro1 : September 21st, 2016-09:37
Unfortunately, I was not authorised to take pictures :-( Best wishes Alkiro

Too bad :)

 
 By: KMII : September 21st, 2016-10:04
When it\'s yours no limits will apply

Needs a "Destro" version...

 
 By: Esharp : September 21st, 2016-09:31
...for those of us lefties who wear our watches on the right wrist! Aside from that, yes, I\'m a fan. Best E.

Fair point :) [nt]

 
 By: KMII : September 21st, 2016-10:05

Best offering....

 
 By: InHavenPro : September 21st, 2016-12:11
from VC at this point in time, despite me always having loved the Overseas line as well. Thanks for the pic. Cheers, Filip

You're welcome Filip!

 
 By: KMII : September 21st, 2016-12:27
I also really like the 1972 Yet to find and try it on.

Love it!

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : September 21st, 2016-13:23
And it looks better in rose gold.

So I take it you've tried the Pt as well?

 
 By: KMII : September 21st, 2016-21:48
Your impressions of that one?

No I haven't

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : September 22nd, 2016-01:35
I\'ve only seen the RG live. But I feel that warm color suits the historical vibe of that watch better somehow.

My favourite Vc ... [nt]

Thank you Ovi!

 
 By: KMII : September 21st, 2016-22:51
On your list, or on your wrist?

Wonderful!

 
 By: KMII : September 22nd, 2016-03:48
Looking forward to you sharing it here!
