I will certainly write something about that Watch which provides me a renewed pleasure each time I see it.

My favourite remains the salmon dial, but I must admit that this silver dial, much more understated, is not lacking interest nor charm.

And, as always, I miss this kind of case. Even if I like, too, the Malte Chronograph which came just after that reference.

Here it is, for the pleasure of your eyes...

 

One day, I will have to come back to this Chronograph, and get another one!

Best,

Nicolas.

Great watch, one of those that make you fall in love for a lifetime...

Soon in Trieste, my friend!

Best,

Nicolas

I hunted for one in PT for a very long time, but couldn't find one in the condition I wanted, so I moved on...

I owned its yellow gold brother for a while--also a nice piece, with so much vintage flavor--but eventually sold it as I mostly prefer white metals.

Still love all the VC Historiques chronos, though.

But with a strong preference for Pt cases, here...

All the best, my friend.

Nicolas, I am in the same camp with you on this one.  Oddly enough, I like all versions of this watch.  But I do not necessarily have a strong preference for the platinum case.  I almost think now that I prefer the yellow gold, which is also strange for me. 

You cannot go wrong with this one no matter the case or the dial.

To have a more formal air about it. I attributed it to the gold ring around the subdials. While VC delivered the watch with a shiny black strap, even a matte finished or brown strap retained the formality. I preferred platinum (rare for me) for a more generally wearable watch.

and prefer it to the salmon dial (though I may be in the minority on that front). Of course, my favorite was this one:

This black dial is stunning indeed!

and cheery on the cake:

These 2 dials are to die for, agreed , Nicolas.

...to buy this VC chrono just a couple of months ago... but in my case it was in YG, and that's the reason I give up.

On this historique chronograph. Love the lugs especially.
