Blue quai de l'ile

Not something you see on here a lot. Still love it for that unique case. I'd love to have a 1921 or traditionnelle small seconds (still may add the platinum), but I don't wear clothes that would coordinate with that type of watch. ...  

This one was considered...

'out there' when it debuted...and you're right, we don't see enough of them.

It's not their norm

But to me it sort of is. VC is known for unique cases and dials of which I consider a strong art deco influence. This watch has that and steel which fits my life crawling around with little kids a bit more.

Beautiful, I’ve never seen this one…Jim

Indeed

It came with rubber strap. Alas not the overseas mechanism.

I think so too!

Good point

Not often do you see a pointer date on an open date ring.

Yep!

It does wear large

Definitely manageable, but not a dress watch.

Agreed

I got this at the boutique after calling and emailing AD over the USA. Apparently last one in NA for whatever that means. I actually called with interest in the brown overseas and was disappointed it was discontinued and still on website. This fits my sty... 

Yessir

Thabks you. It has a unique case as well ...  

I‘m a big fan!

Now looking for another VC or branch out to ALS. What decisions 🤣

Stay Swiss 😄

I want to!

I emailed the boutique a about an everest (I was a month late, knew I had no chance) which I did not get. When I got my QDL I was going to get an overseas- yup last summer you could call and get one, how times have changed. But for me, a sport watch with ... 

You have impeccable taste, Sir.

I guess VC and Porsche give us enough time now to save up 😳 Good luck on the hunt for the Pt Traditionnelle - this one is tempting me a lot, too!

Under the radar.

Not popular means not that a watch is wrong. Several reasons, several opinions. The quai de l’ile have character, a creative watch. The grey skeletonish versions are cool. Your blue can be seen as stealth for me. A not into the spotlights watch for the fi... 

Very cool

Those early QDL are super unique. That was when VC was offering all these unique metals and bespoke combinations. Also I believe they had some fraud protection push as well. Mine is end of the line where they all were stainless. I believe the grey skeleto...
