I was in the VC boutique in NY yesterday, and they confirmed that the RG (40mm version) is still available and even in stock. Platinum has been discontinued. I think both versions are equally fantastic and have very different feels. I find the RG warmer and more vintage, but the platinum more “modern” (perhaps because of the blue numbers). I tried on the RG and wish I could see the platinum in person. Beautiful watches. Regrettably, I didn’t come to appreciate VC until recently, so I missed out on some items that are now available only on the gray market.
