Vacheron Constantin 18ct Gold / Rose Gold Buckle Wanted!
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 be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Have you tried the VC boutique?
Yes I have.
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.
In that case the proper way to do it is...
To be specific (used) with your request or even better post a "want to buy" on the Collectors Market forum.
Noted.
Thank you for the guidance. I only joined WatchProSite last week and hence still learning the site. Again thank you for the heads up and the guidance.
Call Vacheron
They sell straps and parts
Thanks for your feedback.

Please respond to poster via PM
with any specific seller references.
Come on
It’s the manufacturer
That’s fine of course
I’m speaking of non-factory, aftermarket online or brick & mortar retailers, and private sellers. Help me out, did I miss anything?

Thank you for your reply, but not sure what “come on” means??
If my post is inappropriate in any manner, do kindly let me know? As a vintage watch collector, I think my request in a watch group such as this this is highly unoffesive? Have a good day.

What is this even?
Guy’s first post is demanding to know how to buy an 18kt gold VC buckle?
Seems fishy.
Pleased to say nothing fishy with my request.
As a vintage watch collector, I am trying to find a replacement watch buckle for my VC watch. I have approached VC directly and the "new" buckle's that they have do not look right on my vintage watch. Thank you for your feedback, have a good day
Not at all Sanjay.
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 it’s not something to feel bad for asking.
Thank you Avatar.
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 involved with some. Happy to pay a fair and respectable price for the right one.
