Everything must align...
I understand the simplicity of loving a watch despite resale or liquidity. I do have one watch in my tiny collection that will merely get my money back on (with no profit) also would take quite a while to sell as it's not particularly popular... but I love it. If someone only wanted financial certainty (at least in the short term) they'd only acquire hot sport watches in stainless steel at the AD for guaranteed equity.
Along with love of a watch and its mechanical and artistic complexity... I believe resale considerations should be included in the decision to acquire a certain piece. I don't have enough money to NOT ensure all of those aspects are met. At the very least I'd want to be able to get my money back on it if I wanted to sell it. It takes me 5-8 years in between purchases to make sure everything aligns and the acquisition makes sense on all levels.
Best,
Robert
Saw The New Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time Cardinal Points in person yesterday at the boutique...
And I thought they are quite nice. The titanium case and bracelet looked and felt great and the straps are equally nice. I especially like the various finishes on the dials. Brand: Vacheron Constantin Model: Overseas Dual Time Cardinal Points Reference Nu...
These VCs are objectively beautiful!
I look at these beauties and think 'I should like these...' It's funny.. I am not wealthy enough to buy one of these models. However I'm frugal enough to buy a Patek at the same price. Strange! Best, Robert

Hi Robert, Thanks for your message - short clarifying question regarding your message: is it due to the brand, the value retention or the watches themselves? I’m asking because I put down my name for one so never too late to ask? Thanks and best regards, ...
These are beautiful... My hesitation with acquiring a current VC piece is due to my own confusion
When I started paying attention to high horology - long before I could actually afford one - I was heavily influenced by the Holy Trinity marketing. I considered PP, AP and VC to be absolutely pure, independent family owned (or at least privately owned) m...

Brown for me
I have looked and was h sure between the green and the brown, with the green at first. But remembering the old OS version with brown dial, I decided to for that one - will post if/when I get one, Best, Jerome
Can't wait to see them next Monday!!
Thank you very much for sharing your impressions!! 😎👌
I didn’t notice until now, but they do have a steel version with black dial.
It’s very nice with a red dual time hand.
It’s interesting for me. Looking at pictures, like you i liked the green.
But after seeing and trying it live, the green looked more like grey. While brown was surprisingly nice, pairs best with orange strap.
Weird. It was the opposite for me...
It was the brown that looked gray but only under the boutique's lighting but when I walked outside, the colors were quite accurate. Regardless, one cannot go wrong with any of them.
Interesting. Granted i didnt try it in natural light
Too far from boutique for them to trust me hahaha
It’s a subjective point, but I also feel that brown and orange pair naturally…
but if blue and orange work well, then why not green and orange.
IWC, are you inclined to get one?
I’m liking the blue since it looks like the Everest version. But green and brown are just as enticing.
