Amazing piece. Only drawback is the slightly small movement for the case. But… you can pick this up for the price of an everyday calatrava. This is much more watch. I’d buy it.
For some reason, I can’t get this out of my mind. Does anyone have one or have experience with ONE.
My other question, would you buy something like this that was previously owned knowing that it came from a reputable source or would you go brand new? Thanks for your help, all the best, my friends, Tony. ...
Not this particular model, but other VC.
They are even better in person and the secondary market pricing is such amazing value for VC. So long as trusted sourcing, I would not hesitate to get more VC in the secondary market. Can pick up 2 quality watches for the price of 1 new retail. This is a ...
I tried this watch in Doha (Place Vendome Mall) VC boutique - it was STUNNING!
So sharp, classic and masculine. I didn't want to take it off. Case shape leaned toward formal but I would proudly wear casually too. Wouldn't hesitate to purchase a pre-loved example if in great condition. Congratulations on your refined taste! Best, Rob...
I love this watch a lot and I would go for it…
The only drawback is that the calibre seems a bit tiny, but it’s not a major issue. Good hunt! Nicolas
Buy it. Yada yada this yada yada that. Blaa blaa uh huh.
Hey! You! More action, less talk.* *all said in good VERY friendly fun and our shared love of horology. You already know you're getting it. Used from reputable is 👍
I could be wrong, but...
...I believe he depreciation on these is considerable. For some that doesn't matter. But I have a friend that only buys new and doesn't care...
I want to like it
I think I like the open work with NAC treatment better. As it were I never went for this because I think the case is too big for the caliber and the PR is only 40H. I’d have no problem getting used from European watch or some reputable place if only a few...
Looks fantastic.
I don’t know if you’ve already tried one on, but according to Tim Mosso’s videos it wears quite flat and broad, so if you’re going to buy used then perhaps buy from somewhere a good returns policy if you don’t like the fit. I have tried the open faced ver...
I think it looks great Tony! Have you also considered the skeletonize version?
In any case this would be a great addition to your stunning collection
Simply gorgeous!
I love the VC Complete Calendar, both this as well as the Excellence Platine version, with the beautiful slate grey or platinum dial respectively. The Traditionelle case is wonderful as well, with its fluted caseback. Here's the openface variant on my 6.5...
I believe this is a 41 mm watch
Can I ask if you would say that it wears big or perhaps small? Any thoughts on the size is highly appreciated? Pelle
Probably wears true to size...
I tried it on a long time ago. It has narrow bezel but its lug to lug measurement is only 48.1 mm. You may want to check out Tim's review. Good luck, Pelle.
