A super Skeleton
Having been a long time “lurker” here in admiration of the civilized detente notably absent from other prominent horological forums, the feeling has struck me to join this fray. Some may appreciate this one, as I have not seen this one around here just ye...
Welcome to our community ...
Can you tell us a little about your collecting journey ? Best regards The Captain
Thank you for the kind welcome Captain
Sure, In about a decade of collecting I am so deep in it I don’t know which way is up! Like most things that end up taking over it started small, and has gone parabolic, and is only getting more severe, but I love it. Really, as time has gone on the rate ...
Thank you dedestexhes
It stopped showing for me as well, I believe I have fixed it below
Welcome rrregulator.
Glad you took to participating from lurking. Unfortunately your photo is not showing for me.
Thank you Mario for the welcome note
I could not edit the original posting anymore so I have readded it below, I believe it is visible again
Thank you Fab!
There is much to share. Wrist time is at more and more of a premium, while my collection still continues to grow. A great problem to have of course. We are all blessed here. I have resorted to giving watches away as sometimes I feel my collection has beco...
Good one Fab ;) would not be the first time,
Of course would be wiser to sell, but I have not been able to bring myself to do so. Besides thinking of the hassle involved of course will put you off of that. I will be happy to continue, thank you friend.
Welcome here
A lovely VC, to say the least! Have you got pictures with the other strap options, too?
Thank you dear Count
I can take some photos for you with straps if you have an interest there. The bracelet is so good I have not felt the need to use the straps as of yet, especially in a rotation where I don't require versatility from one watch. Even though it is exceedingl...
Happy to hear that, there will be more friend
It's fair to say it is stunning to behold and a dream to wear.
Welcome
We appreciatie your membership. I was ones a member of such a horological forum where civilized behavior was not present. It was not always that bad, but WPS attracted me with the language i like. Also the watches are better. I bought a watch, and while s...
Thank you Weems
I must agree with you on all points, it is not very attractive the other way. This place still appears to be wholly about the love of timepieces of all kinds, free of trends. It makes more sense to me. I will be pleased to chat more with all.
Thank you! It's a great wear.
I have had surprised remarks on the thinness on this one, and the case shape is scalloped such that it plays thinner than it even is by the numbers. The ultra thin case is one of the best aspects.
Welcome here rrregulator
I joined this forum for exactly the same reasons and I can say it’s a really great community! Lokking forward to learn more about you and your passion. An exceptional piece, this ultrathin PC. I fell in love with the white gold (non skeleton) version and ...
Thank you mrds !
Have you also seen the new full rg with blue dial released this year?
I did, but this one I really didn’t like that much
I love the blue dial on steel (I have a 4500v) and also some of the RG Overseas models, but the combination of material and dial color is not very harmonious imho. I think the PP 5711R with its brownish-greyish dial is more to my taste.
I understand your taste
As you already have the blue dial in steel the wg with grey dial in the same vein is more useful complementation, I can see it. Have you put on any full gold ultra thin?
It’s a tough call
between the 5740 and the VC Overseas perpetual. For me, the 5740 just ticked all the boxes and I absolutely love it. On the other hand, if you must take decisions on this level, cheating or not cheating, you‘re a lucky bastard 😁
Thank you for sharing, top piece that looks smashing on your wrist
I don't know if you have tried vc overseas ultra thin pc, besides being high comp sports models they wear very different, I think one will not replace the other. Many differences here. The only solution is to have them all !
I wish to be able help you with this one
I have seen only one for sale some years ago, after the production ended, which was around the retail price still. Rare to see watch and a distillation to the essence. Should I hear of one for sale I will send you a message. I am thinking this PC will be ...
Same for me. I saw one in Asia a few years ago but it sold quickly and there was no way for me to see or try it. Since then, nothing. If yiu do see one available, it would be very kind if you could let me know 😉 👍 🙏
And yes I also agree with you that once VC decides to discontinue this Skeleton Perpetual, it will also be extremely difficult to find afterwards.
Sure to let you know if so !
Have you been able to try the current overseas pc ? 2000v is smaller but it is not a great difference, trying the wg pc is close enough to give you some idea of how much you will like 2000v on I think.
This surprises me, difference between ultra thin pc and 4500v is 0.5 mm
2000v is the one for you 👍
True to your name
A good style of going about it. Let me know if anything I can do to help !
Thank you Henry !
A very plat but wide feeling case with strong visual impression, but I don't find any problem, still the first links can go fully straight down which cannot be taken for granted. Not a good photo for looking at but maybe helps see how it sits ? ...
Thank you friend, I agree there is much to appreciate here
At this advanced stage it has become this way, I am like many here fully infected by this bug which of course as we all have seen it does not end even with such special items... 😁
