Vacheron Constantin 42002 - views?
By: KMII : October 7th, 2016-03:59
I recently accidentally stumbled upon the 42002 - a watch from the early years of the new millenium - and was quite taken with it. The relatively classical size (35mm x 8mm), solid caseback, nicely playful lugs and a very cool dial (not sure what you'd ca...
Thanks Alkiro!

I\'m not worried by the size - for me it\'s an asset
Exactly ;-)

Too bad...

That MB did not continue with the Cal. 48 (apart from in the Ultralight Timewalker)...
I personally find it a bit boring for VC

A fine dress watch effort---would be much better without the date--that includes an interesting guilloche dial; but when I think VC, I want to see more playfulness in the case and lugs. The case is plain. The lugs are straight and uninteresting. There is ...
Thanks John!

The lugs do have a playful element of you look at them from the side (straight from the top, granted) but I know what you\'re getting at. Not an imminent need or purchase, so more or less just testing the water for the moment
Nice!!

I think it is a lovely watch....right size with a good movement...so why not?
Thanks Cirotti!

As said, will definitely still need to think about it but seemed like a fun piece
I knew you'd say this :)

Would definitely have been much nicer without. I guess in the early 2000s the date was still more accepted even in dress watches...
I love these older VC's

They are a little small... They have suffered bad resale value... But that is now created a steady or level price value... So at this juncture... I just love them for what they are... Yes, a little 'simple.' yes a little 'dated' But.... Great composition....
Thanks for your thoughts, Mostel!

I mind neither the size nor the solid case back And the value for money is undoubtedly decent - cannot imagine them falling further in price, so a relatively risk free venture. Will see how I decide in the end
I love older VC's of this era

Love the chronometre Royal, for example... a rather small watch, a little dated.... but I love it
Good tip - will check it out :)

Btw. which one do you mean, the Phidias one or one of the prior versions? Or this one? From: ThomasM ...
Yep that one
By: Mostel : October 8th, 2016-14:01
I love the broad hands and the Romans... it has the 'tension' of dial design that almost no watches have anymore... I want one of these! I just haven't found one with my name on it yet.
