Dont like it
So many other beautiful dials to be had. When i 1st saw it i disliked it and looking at it today I still feel the same. Gl
What do you all think?
A very good friend of mine got this in auction, in excellent condition with full set. At first glance he fell in love with this watch. However, the more he looked at it the more dislike he felt. He knows I am collecting watches so he is looking to pass it...
Is that your wrist in the photo?
Personally, I find the watch too big, and with this grey dial perhaps a bit too boring. Sounds like you have doubts, so my suggestion is to pass. I need undeniable passion to justify a purchase; otherwise, why buy? Cheers, John
Yes, it is on my wrist.
One major point I am missing. We are very good friends and I can actually pay him any time, but will have to pay eventually of course...
My God, you are the source of all knowledge!
I didn't know that reference so I had to check it on the WWW. Instead of weekday, that should be a small second. I am not that keen on the Roman numerals either. I gather VC allows customisation of a watch, now that is a tempting thought.
You're nice but I just knew these both retrograde models 😉
More than the Roman numerals, I'm more troubled by the dots between them. A little bit dated for me in this context. For the same amount of money, I would prefer to buy the jump hour reference 43040 instead. Best wishes Alkiro
I do like retrograde watches.
I think that VC is one of the few brands, which offers retrograde watches, as far as I know. I do love the dial and it looks like the classic dress watch. However, the retrograde adds something special that you won't certainly find in many other timepiece...

Spacing
I admire the retrograde function of this watch but the spacing between the individual letter forms is off-putting to me (WEDNESDAY and FRIDAY in particular). The THU short-hand seems like a bad idea. I would have much preferred to see the days of the week...
I don't think you can go wrong with a VC but.....
....I think the hands and hour markers blend in too much with the color of the dial which could make telling time somewhat difficult -- this would especially be true if you are in a dark environment (I don't think the markers are lumin) -- but that may ju...
It. Is all about weather you like it on your wrist.
I think it is a cool model, big fan of retrogrades. Almost bought the PT LE several years ago but had a few others with a higher place on my want list.
