What's next?
The curse of the collector...not long after you get a watch you start to think about your next watch! Despite still being on a high after getting a Patrimony Contemporaine 81180, I can't help but think of what I might like next.
But alas, the reality of the budget meets up with the fantasy of desire: I can't have an American 1921 or Patrimony Contemporaine Perpetual unless I want to wait a really long time (or trade away that 81180...)
So, my thoughts have turned back to that most affordable line of Vacheron Constantin watches, and the Overseas Chronograph is calling to me again.
So, what's next for you?

I'd wait for the Perpetual...
I still remember that perpetual, especially the skeleton-ized version. Beautiful. Extraordinary. Beautifully extraordinary! This message has been edited by patrick_y on 2011-08-11 13:12:41
Why don't you just tack on the Perp. Cal to your OS Chrono?
Its the newest one out and has the grey dial you like, since you're considering the OS anyway. . BR, Dan
Each respondent is escalating the cost I'll bear!
Playtime pushing the 1921, Patrick the QP, and now Dan the Overseas Chrono QP. Where's respo to tell me to get a Christopher Columbus or Alex to tell me to go for broke (literally) and get the Patrimony Traditionnelle Calibre 2755? Bill
Its always easier to spend somebody else's money, :-)
Bil, our glorious leader...what can I say: I live vicariously through YOUR collection! hee hee hee. BR, Dan
The Les Cabinotiers Skeleton Minute Repeater? Then you can really call it a day :)))
Would you consider any vintage? Well neo vintage to be precise Images from The Hour Lounge I just love the dial work. Regards Tyler This message has been edited by T.Bean on 2011-08-12 04:12:25...
Hi Tyler.....
I really like the Sautante like you showed in your photo, Tyler, but I would prefer to go further back in time if I ever get back into vintage VC, and go either for a cioccolatone in rose gold with complete calendar and moonphase or a turnograph (which id...
I was about to suggest the
Overseas steel/titanium dual time! With my suggestion you even save money
I think Alex is on to something here
What a great suggestion. A perfect travel companion if ever there was one.
The Overseas Dual Time is nice....
but I prefer the Chronograph.....and like Henrik I would add the bracelet. I love the look. Bill
Good choice, Bill!
I've already fallen for this piece - you know the story of the bracelet on this watch ;-) Best, Henrik...
Love the photo.....
and I just spent too much time playing Angry Birds when visiting my mom, who has a iPad 2. As I've mentioned before, I love the look of the SS/Ti Overseas watches on the bracelet. Bill
Well, Bill
As you know, I can't argue with the idea of an Overseas. Paired with your gorgeous, elegant 81180, you would have a perfect 2-watch Vacheron collection. I do kind of feel that way about my American 1921/Overseas pairing. As usual, Bill, I am the voice of ...
You hit the nail on the head....
I think the Overseas paired with a dress watch makes for a perfect two-watch VC collection. Any Patrimony (Traditionnelle or Contemporaine) or the 1921 would fit the dress watch need, and the particular Overseas I most appreciate is the Chronograph with t...
Been on the hunt for a Chronometre Royal ref.47022j for a while now, Bill!
I'm usually not a fan of yellow gold, but think it really suits this model.
That's a good looking watch....
I saw one on a collector who lives close to us, Chris, though there is no way he'll ever let it go! Bill
