Movement number
Hi Bill - Yes I have got it from photo of the movement - happy to up load if you wish and also, at your advice spoken to VC - they will follow it up they tell me and advise me accordingly.

Sad really as you say tis gorgeous otherwise. regards Andy

Vacheron ref. 4126
My opinion is what this dial is badly redone. It is a terrible mistake that the (& is missing from the name. Here are some photos from another Vacheron & Constantin ref. 4126. with beautiful engine turned dial taken from the internet....
The crown on Andy's potential watch is also...
not the original style. The one in your photo is correct. Bill
The VC is looking less like a good investment
Hi and thanks for your comments and photos - lovely watch. Here what you say and does make me think, I should re think buying this one and search on. thanks again Andy
