hi,timeset This is a valuable topic.
First, it's not a VF case, so the price is much lower.
Secondly, 1920s-1930s antique watches are not a hot spot .especially in China.
Two weeks ago, I discussed a similar topic with a chinese collector.Most Chinese antique VC enthusiasts limit the investment time to 1940s-1960s. Because at this stage, both case design and mechanical processing technology are mature, and the case shape is more suitable for Asians.The most interesting ，evolution of artistic style and design are not accepted by most chinese investors. I use the term "investor" instead of "enthusiast" or "collector".It will take a long time. When more and more people begin to understand and accept the history and culture of the antique VC, they will be happy to collect 1920s-1930s watches.
I just state the facts objectively. Antique VC watches are my favorite, no matter at any time.
Auction Alert - Cortrie Special Auctions - 14th of September 2019
A very interesting find: Pretty consitend, crown serviced, natural wabi silvered dial, 18K Breguet numeral index, (entry) vintage collectors stuff, quite significant ref., seem to be a Verger case - low limit - Compare to the sample V&C ref (Antiquorum Au...
If treated the right way - could unfold the real stunner
Very elegant dress watch - slim and long - the forerunner of the most famous curved ones. Top style at that time and still wearable as a dress watch.
No, I did not bid on it.
A Vacheron & Constantin for the price of a Seiko and no interest, it's in deed unbelievable! That's it.
Too good
If an offer or a deal seems too good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true and thus is fault. As simple as that and it applies to virtually all markets especially when online auctions create a more transparent market place
No, I don't think so it's more complicated
Your comment is right in general, but did not apply to this case. Because it's a (very small) niche marked. But there is no marked maker. If you start with an auction under this conditions you won't get a realistic price, you might get it more realistic i...
Your absolutely correct
My statement only applies if a certain market volume is present. If volume is too small to function as a market (ie very low volumes or unique pieces or assets that are virtually illiquid) then normal “market laws and forces) don’t apply. Value than trans...
Sometimes it hurts to look at it...
I wonder, there is the latent request to get the V&C's as cheap as possible. On the other hand the aficionados are often not able to to distinguish relevant of irrelevant.

Re: This is a valuable topic.
Maybe you are right because of the VF case that could be clarified, VF very well produced cases like this. That could explain the difference between 6k to 12k but only if there would be the magnificant VF style also. But anyway it is definitely an authent...
What you said I'm going to study and search information about them.
Thank you for sharing
