The handset on the 6119 is less attractive IMO. I like the dauphine style (I think that is it) on the VC and think that's a better fit with the rest of the dial furniture. Otherwise I think the 6119 is a slam dunk. The hobnailing probably looks great in person or in a display case. I do lose the crosshairs on the sub dial, too. Overall nice release maybe just needs 1 more cycle of tweaks to be a home run.
