The OS on my wrist right now is blushing.

Beautiful piece . I wish it would have been priced smartly between 60/70k Range ... [nt]

They have priced it per market - in line step with APRO but offer a better finish and an automatic mvmt. If this were PP it wud be twice as much and ppl be lining up. 3 interchangeable straps..

....makes it versatile and competitive to other sports models - GP Laureato and Breguet Marine.

The peripheral rotor on this one is outstanding [nt]

Very true and 2160 has impressive 80hr PR. The mvmt was already used in their Traditionelle line...

Why? Because they can ;-) Wonder which model next gets a minute repeater; FiftySix or Overseas?

I’m a sucker for complications in sporty cases and really

find that VC hit the nail on the head with this one ...  

VC always had one of the best execution of tourbillion cage helped by their cross. While I am not a fan of sunburst dials, the watch as a whole is very appealing. They also got the ST part right - remem their ultra thin two hand...

....(15202 alt) is only offered in 18k.

the Deep Stream QP chrono remains a high-point for my OS love

to quote your article on The Evolution of Vacheron Constantin Sports Watches from waaaaay back in 2009: "Chances of seeing a tourbillon or minute repeating Overseas in funky metals is close to zero..." and we've seen titanium and tourbillons since then. A... 

Why

I can understand mixing some complications in models that traditionally would be fitted with such a complication. For example Blancpain building a annual calendar in their bathyscape is something I can understand. But a tourbillon (vulnerable) in an Overs... 

The mkt has been leaning towards Sports watches with complications and payin prem to get them...PP & AP have them. So why not esp if VC has an automatic Calibre to dole out. [nt]

Its not about wat makes sense but what sells

I fully agree. Just don’t understand why a tourbillion in a sports watch is so attractive but that’s matter of taste

Luk at who is wearing them...its not the class you imagine perhaps. How many ppl ever use the chrono func in daytona? For the time being these have become statement pieces more than utility. [nt]
