First Impressions...
I've been looking for a 'regular' VC 222 for some time now but for one reason or another, just could not get my hands on one.
Along came a square version at a price that was attainable, and I decided to go for it.
First impressions - it's really thin, and wears very refined (a refined sports/ bracelet watch???1!what a oxymoron...).
As can be seen from my pictures, depending on the lighting, the dial changes colours, from black, to a shimmery silver/ gray.
Size wise, the watch looks bigger in the pictures. When I get it back, I will try to take a picture of it beside a Rolex 5513/ Omega Speedmaster so that there's some objective comparison.

Advice Sought on Servicing of VC 'Square' 222
Hi All, I just acquired a VC 'Square' 222. Here's some pictures taken of the watch using my HP. This is my 1st VC, and I would like to seek the guidance of the members of this forum as to the servicing of this watch. Brief background: #1. The second hand ...
This is the way I usually solve this problem and in most cases it works.....

Wow!
Two spectacular 222s - and a square one, too! I unfortunately cannot help with the service issue but would very much appreciate if you posted your impressions of the watch at some point. Hope the seconds hand issue gets resolved soon - good luck!

Thanks for this - very useful
I have been tempted on several occasions but felt unsure about the size at 31mm. So as I had no chance of trying it on, I decided to pass. Lovely looking watch and if a nice one comes along I may well join you
This is really useful!
Yes, I have now suggested "Route 1" to VC, and am now waiting for them to get back to me. I think it's reasonable and fair that I forfeit the warranty of their repair job if they think the crumbling lume may eventually compromise the watch's movement. I b...
Hello Chye
I do not know if it can help you but my watchmaker here in Geneva should be able to solve your problem. If you want, I will see him next Monday and I can show him your VC and what you want to do. He will probably tell me if he can answer or not to your wa...
Thanks!
I really appreciate the offer. Let me see how far I can get with VC, and I will get in touch again if things do not work out. Thank you again.
