What a great watch

Sep 02, 2021,15:28 PM
 


I don’t see myself ever buying a tourbillion sports watch but that blue dial with the Maltezer cross on the tourbillion looks great.

There are just 2 things I can’t explain but I am sure there must be a good reason for it:

1) Why is the upper right screw that holds the Maltezer cross blue?

2) Why does the lower right one appears to be flat on top?

Anybody who knows?

I agree with you M2 that open worked is phenomenal I placed an order for the WG because I love it that much!

Congrats!

One of my dream watches. When does it arrive? Would love to see pics and a write up. I think the watch looks completely different openworked in the best way possible. Not huge on the normal VC Overseas but once openworked...the shape just works so much be... 

I had a AP skeleton perp about 5 years ago that I regretted selling it ever since.

But I always loved the PT version of the AP because of the blue accents. The VC solved all those problems for me. I get the WG with blue accents on a skeletonized dial without having to pay the premium for PT. I was told it wouldn't be less than year so m... 

What a great problem to have …

I was looking at the OW - it’s amazing. But I find it hard to actually see the time (that’s ok) but the moon disk for me was not so nice. I love simplicity…

Yes it defintely doesn't score any points for legibility..

But that's OK, it will probably take me forever to see the time as I will most likely be hypnotized by the dial

Fantastic shot

The blue represents the second hand - the other is lighting

Cool thanks

Look closely...

 
 By: HighEndOne : September 2nd, 2021-15:40
I would guess that the cross rotates at 1 RPM, and if you look closely at the blue screw you will see a blue pointer sticking up at the upper right. This makes it a sweep second hand of sorts. The other screw looks like refection of light makes it appear ... 

here it comes :)

upon close inspection you will additionally find also a blue arrow head above the blue screw and this setup enables to use the tourbillon cage as a seconds hand... clever. The flat screw is actually just a normal screw with a big reflection on its head, y... 

Just a fabulous watch!

The Overseas is on my bucket list. All the best... HEO

Fantastic shot my friend! This watch is indeed true art!

I think VC generally has the nicest tourbillons…

and this one is no exception.

Beautiful Shot
