Horological Meandering

Dear All. I am looking for a Vacheron Constantin Buckle in 18 carat yellow gold. Either in 16mm or 14mm in size. This buckle has to be original VC buckle including the pin with all appropriate stamps at the back of the buckle. Any assistance provided will...  

But unfortunately the prices being asked by VC is extremely high. Additionally, as this buckle is going on a vintage watch, I doo not think a brand new buckle will appropriate on a vintage watch. Thank you for your reply.

My response was to the moderator because neither of us were recommending anything but to go the Vacheron and or it’s official representatives to get a buckle. Your question is fine!! I’ve had to look for buckles for vintage watches of differing brands and... 

I can't believe how difficult it is to source one. I now have been trying source one for a while and it's a real challenge. There are couple available on the market and these are priced unbelievable high and unfortunately there is an element of greed invo...
