But for my money, the VC........
they cost about the same on the secondhand market .
If I have to pick one from the two.
Due to split second mechanism added on top of base chronograph caliber that’s already pretty big. But that also gives it an expansive view and yeah the movement finish is second to none.
But beautiful with good presence.
I lean towards the VC, those lugs are so beautiful. The MB might have a better wrist presence. Which feels better on the wrist? I’d go with whichever speaks to you the most. Two excellent choices.
