Congratulations, David!
Welcome to the forum and to the community of Vacheron Constantin owners! I'm sure we are all looking forward to seeing more photos of your watch when you are able to present them.
I had never thought to put the gray strap of the tantalum QDI, which is like the grey of the SS/Ti Overseas, with the titanium QDI, but it makes perfect sense. I absolutely agree that the shiny black alligator strap is not the right choice for the titanium QDI.
As for sending me an invoice becasue my QDI article had an influence on your decision, how about I just agree to buy you a drink and raise a toast to Vacheron Constantin should we meet?

Today, I became a Vacheron Constantin owner...
...and a contributor to this forum (by the way, both make me equally proud!). I bought in the Geneva VC store a beautiful Quai de l'Ile Day, Date Power Reserve. I was torn between a Blancpain L-Evolution Alarm and this for a while (granted they are two ve...
Congrats!
Stunning watch! I especially like your wrist shot. Like you, I just got my first VC (3 days ago) and am absolutely loving it. Jason
Welcome here, and thanks a lot for this nice post. ..
Enjoy your new QDI, and welcome to the VC family. Best, Nicolas.
Congratulations....
and welcome here.... Enjoy your new watch.... I am surprised though that your AD gave you a hard time to change the strap..... Cheers
Strap
Pinkpanther, I guess they didn't like parting with a strap on a limited edition tantalum/palladium... Let's just say it took a bit of convincing... By the way, this LE was just beautiful. Tantalium is darker than titanium and is heavier than palladium. My...
However....
with the economy being on the downside and with such an expensive watch the AD should, in my opinion have been more cheerful... enjoy your new watch... Cheers

I don't want to give the impression that they were anything less than professional and friendly, which they were. If I were to rate the overall purchasing experience, I would give them a very high grade. Being the flagship store of the brand probably mean...

Straps and drinks...
Bill, I think it would make more sense if I buy you a drink! Are you in Geneva? If yes, you can PM me and I'll be glad to meet and show you the grey strap (along with the watch, of course!). Cheers, David This message has been edited by sikorskd on 2010-0...
I am in Boston.....
I'll be sure to send you a note the next time I plan to be in Geneva. Please let me know if you'll be in the eastern US. Bill
When in Geneva...
...I'll take you to a little café I know on Quai de l'Ile from which you can see the Tour de l'Ile... Cheers, David
Congrats David!
The QDI is certainly growing on me.Also agree with your choice of strap.
