My choices
For me this is the chrono to look for.
The new Overseas is definitely underrated, IIRC there are 2 more straps included, leather and rubber.
This is even more underrated, nobody cares of a 37 mm sport watch.
I remember a white gold time only, perhaps with no small seconds when it was reintroduced.
Pure class.
Vacheron Constantin: what would be the choice between around 30/40K ?
I was thinking about adding a Vacheron Constantin piece in my collection. When I look at the catalogue and considering my budget, I was considering the hereafter pieces: Historiques Cornes de Vache: I like it a lot, it is a classic chronograph but its cas...
i will wait for
the 1921 100th anniversary to be presented soon and I will also consider the Chronomètre Royal 1907 ;-) Good luck in your search and final decision FX. ...
Vacheron Jubilee 1755 in platinum ...
Is available mint preowned from a reputable dealer in your price range. A stunning piece [no affiliation] ...
CdV or PT Traditionnelle - assuming they still have it in stock
It is discontinued and not in production since a long time. Cant wait to see the decision!
The Cornes de Vache or 1921
Both extraordinary pieces that so well sum up VC‘s qualities and capabilities. As Nico said, if you go for the 1921 you may want to wait what VC announces for the 100th anniversary. Cheers, Daniel

You started with the right one for me
There are a number of watches I like here, but the steel Cornes de Vache is the only one I LOVE.
Same for me.
All great options but the Comes de Vache grabs me like no other listed so far. Monochromatic beauty, a touch of blue along with that very easy on the eyes manual wind movement. Yes please!
The Cornes de Vaches and the Overseas GMT are always in my mind too (but I already have the 1921).
Tough choices indeed. Aris
My opinion
Depending on the rest of your collection: 1. if you want something to enjoy now, the overseas dual time is quite cool 2. if you want something that would still put a smile on your face in decades, the CdV is the way to go A wild card would be a Historique...
Having smaller wrists...
I'd probably go with the ultra-fine 1955, the 36mm automatic patrimony, or the 37mm overseas
One more for the CdV Chronograph
But that choice is based purely on my own collection. There have been some suggestions added to this thread for models no longer in production and even long out of production. If you expand your options to that entire universe, then I will require a lot m...
Very different pieces
Vacheron Constantin is one of my favorite watch companies. I have the Overseas in blue (4500V) and the Traditionelle in platinum (82172). They are both outstanding watches that are easy to wear. Every piece posted is fantastic, so I would focus on what yo...
The Cornes de Vache for me. I wouldn't look at it to tell the time. I'd look at it to look at it.
That's not to say the other options don't have their merits. They all do. My choice is just a reflection of where I am in my collecting, and my sensibilities draw me to the CdV. I'm sure you'll make the choice that makes sense for you. Best regards.
Superb Choices. My answers below:
- You will only appreciate the Word Time if you live in a country which falls in a half or quarter time zone. I live in India, so I can relate. I love the fact that it is busy. But for someone who lives in the traditional 24 tie zones, it might not make s...
