TeutonicCarFan's initial post on the new Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Small Seconds with a green dial sparked a lively discussion among collectors. This article delves into the community's first impressions of this striking new variant, exploring its aesthetic appeal and the practicalities of acquiring such a piece. TeutonicCarFan's preference for a white gold or platinum case with the green dial resonates with many who appreciate Vacheron Constantin's classic dress watch offerings.

Noticed this on their website last week. A quick search revealed it was a recently released variant that was available for 1 month first in China (I assume after that available for ROW). I do really like the green dial, I'd say with RG case and green strap maybe a bit much 🤷‍♂️ IMO WG would go better with this green. I still am upset to have missed the platinum, grey dial version as this is my favorite of the time only dress pieces.

Key Points from the Discussion

The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Small Seconds with the green dial is available at boutiques, with one confirmed sighting and try-on experience at the new Dallas boutique.
The green dial, particularly when paired with a rose gold case, is perceived as more subtle and beautiful in person than suggested by initial photographs.
Concerns exist regarding the safety and logistics of purchasing luxury watches from international sellers, especially concerning potential issues with payment, customs, and item description accuracy.
Chrono24 offers a 7-day proxy payment release period, providing a safeguard for buyers to inspect the watch before funds are fully transferred to the seller.
Even domestic transactions via platforms like Chrono24 can incur foreign transaction fees if the credit card company processes the transaction as international, despite the watch and settlement being within the US.
There is a strong desire among collectors for Vacheron Constantin to release the Traditionnelle Small Seconds with a green dial in a white metal, with platinum being the preferred choice.

Will be interesting to see how it looks on a black strap, side by side compared to the green strap

I have seen these. I have been sort of waiting for a new release in plt as I prefer from the boutique. As someone who hasn't bought through these sites, especially as I am US and I see the few are from out of country... if there is any issue with safety (ie they take my money and I get nothing or something different), customs issues, etc. I wouldn't really even want to buy from someone in the US, what if I wire money and they don't do what they should? Or the item isn't as described? I will like

I saw some pictures on monochrome, much more subdued

and there is a 7 day period during which you have the watch before you have to release the payment from proxy (unless you have an issue with the piece you received). I would think sellers would be more worried.
