A watch I’ve wanted since it’s release.

Dec 19, 2024,20:36 PM
 

I have wanted this watch since I first saw its press release. Obviously getting anything during Covid was impossible, so naturally it got pushed aside and well I pursued other hobbies. I can’t say that I am a huge of perpetual calendar watches because it is difficult to read the date and month. But let’s be honest we really don’t buy perps for that reason. We buy them because they are gorgeous to look at. I had an AP perpetual skeleton RO back in the day when they could be had for around $45-50k and I regrettably sold it for around that price. But when this came out it blew my socks off and I am happy to add this to my little collection. Setting the watch is pain in the ass so I will most likely keep it on its winder.

I’m not usually a skeleton watch person, but this one is an exception for me. I was looking at one on EWC for a while but it sold. Congratulations, Jorge! It’s fantastic!

Thanks Steve!

EWC does frequently get them in. Which I am always surprised as they don't make a lot of these.

Wow!

My favorite VC! Would love a follow up review in a few months once you’ve spent some time with it. Congrats.

Big Boss strikes again!

You know me I’m still jaded, but VC never wronged me they just couldn’t produce the piece fast enough. Hope you’re well buddy.

This one, and its AP counterpart are two pieces I love…

and actually the VC has a bit of an advantage over the AP. Congratulations on an excellent acquisition👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Honestly, this is my grail. Excellent piece.

Hope to obtain this in the next few years. As the proud owner, any thoughts about its suitability as an every day wearer?

Huge congrats, Jorge!

That's an amazing addition. I am very fond of it - but may hunt for the regular version with anthracite dial. I've never get to handle the anthracite dial in person, but I think this skeleton dial looks great on my wrist too: ...  

Congrats! I think it is funny you are complaining

About setting; agree this is typically the downside of perpetuals along readability; but I typically love QPs if they can address these main two issues
