It's only shortcoming is it's hands, which lack the sophistication of its Genta cousins.

Some Vacheron Constantin Vintage 222 shots.

With all these talks about steel sports watches, here is one which counted. With the not too centered date, at the contrary of the new one... Which is its biggest flaw. Best, Nicolas ...  

Super cool.

Nice!

Great picture of a 222 with a lof of DNA, maybe the next Nautilus ? In meantime a cool steel sport watch with integrated bracelet from these early days! I really like it, and the small engraved Maltese cross on the case is neat!

The 222 never appealed to me. Just too stuck in the 70s.

The Nautilus and RO seem more modern, but perhaps that's because I've spent the last 20 years seeing them, whereas the 222 is much more rare.

Great!!!!!

The 222 is one of the greatest. Maybe is the first on my list of vintage watches. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Abrazo, amigo.

Most probably, yes.

Still to see the new YG version in the flesh... maybe one day...

I know you love date windows! 😜

But it's true that the centered position is kind of weird. Once you notice, it's very evident all the time. I wish I can try it on one day.

I put my name on the list for this one a year ago, but not convinced 100%

I don't think they will call me anyways...

Well, good for you. ;)

Not for my wallet 😅

You checked?

Indeed 😉

What a delightful beast

but it looks like the bracelet is suffering... poor design? When VC releases the new one, it will be a major hit.

Merci, my dear Geross.
