Anonymity vs Public Disclosure
Hi kpk,
It's a very beautiful watch. But not necessarily to be waved in everyone's face. The Facebooks and Googles of the world want everything known and public in all circumstances, whereas discretion and audience-appropriate disclosure is more the PuristS way, I think.
A Wikipedia reference to "pearls before swine" (or in our case, "watches before friends and relatives")
"Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces."
Quotation from Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, implying you should not put what is valuable in front of those who will reject its value; further, they will also seek to diminish or destroy what you offer.
Cheers,
Cazalea
Vacheron Constantin Traditionelle... Life is simple...
So a simple 3 hand watch, without complications, like this beautiful VC Traditionelle, can already make me very happy. Wearing it today for work and smiling the whole day Cheers Robin...
Monday smiles are great!
Thanks Damjan for your kind words and joining me smiling today :) cheers robin
Thanks Joe!
I agree - once we have nice watches, we need nice shirts, and then shoes to match them! :) Thanks for your kind words Joe cheers robin
Great photo. Great watch.
I love the color the dial takes on in this photo, Robin. This is a nice way for all of us to start off Monday morning, but especially nice for you, I suspect. Best, respo
Mondays are tough....
so it's good we start the work week with a timepiece we like! Thank you for your kind comments respo! Glad you enjoyed the picture :) Cheers robin
Still looks like new!
Enjoy your Monday watch (though as I write it is getting dangerously close to Tuesday where you are!! Bill
Thank you Bill yes, it still looks new!
With some hairline scratches on the bezel though. Gold is so soft... even my shirt cuffs (cotton) can scratch it! Cheers robin
Robin, lovely picture. I saw this on FB and commented
on it too. I took a lovely pic of mine a few days ago but am hesitant to post on FB as I do not want much of the people on my FB to see it.

Agree kpk and Cazalea
My mom just "scolded" me last night for sharing my personal stuff (kids, watches, etc) on Facebook! I prefer PuristSPro to facebook definitely and feel more secure to share here with fellow watch lovers. Cheers robin
Thank you kpk for your kind words :)
we have the same watch. :) Bro watches :) cheers robin
Lovely picture Robin, but...
this is my favorite picture you posted before...wouldn't it be fun to wear it back-side-up! ...
Yes Dean!
This was a pic I took when I first got the watch back in Sep 2012! :) The 4400 AS movement is simply breathtaking! Simple but very well finished and designed. Thanks for your kind words Cheers robin
Looks great
Amazing watch from the front or back! I have not worn mine in several days, this has inspired me, thank you.
Your white gold Traditionelle is very nice too of course!
Please wear and share more photos of it :) cheers robin
Simple is beautiful
Especially so in this piece. It's really nice, and I can see why you're smiling :-) Richard
Thank you Richard
For your kind comments. :) Wearing my Cartier Tank LC today in rotation, Somehow this VC is very dear to me so I seldom wear it! it is my very first high end watch and the watch that started it all for me :) cheers robin
A beauty like the that VC needs to be work more
It is one that I have eyed for a long time, but as I work in jeans and t-shirts more than anything, it will probably not be something that will fit often enough. It's still on my wish list, if you please :-) That cartier ain't bad either. I read your revi...
Thanks Pam!

Glad you like it Constantin
Your name is in the watch! :) Thank you for your kind comments cheers robin
Thanks JB!
The 4400 AS movement of the VC Traditionelle is often overlooked but imho, it is one of the nicest 3 hand manual wind movement. cheers robin
