Vacheron Constantin

I've just read the report , average price form VC is 20k. AP and PP nearly 35k (PP sells several quartz). They don't need to become a one model only maison, but at least they might celebrate the iconic 222 with a better one. The 2000 V was beautiful, it's...  

Wouldn't mind if VC comes out with a new and updated version of the 222 either, maybe with the caliber 2000V as well 😉🤔

Paid in watches, that is the best salary i ever heard. You right, the Overseas is better than the Nautilus. The RO is in many versions, some i like, some i do not like. A one model only maison, so they are afraid to come with more flavors. In cars, a DDR ... 

It's just too much, and does not make for a look that will stand the test of time. Viz. the first generation Overseas. IMO, that watch has not aged well. Also not a fan of the rounded tonneau-style case, or the between 4 and 5 o'clock date placement. The ... 

I think they've tried to design something different, but sometimes you just need to be simple and essential. After a whole life in the need of the window date, now I can't really stand it any longer

Especially with their lack of subtly.

I remember when folks were making fun of the Nautilus white dial, comparing it with a white garage door with slats (even here). I like it though. All designs fall in and out of favor. Including the Nautilus (which was discontinued for a time before PP res... 

But that doesn't mean it is perfect! Something having room for improvement doesn't mean it is bad; it is not a binary relationship.

In times people adapt and refocus to its value retention

All fashion goes in cycles and value retention follows suit. There was a time not too long ago when no one wanted watches designed in the 1970s. They were tacky, until they were 'hot' again. Daytonas didn't sell well...then decades later they became 'hot'... 

I would be very tempted to buy a no-date blue dial in stainless steel. Better yet, give it a salmon dial and just take my money!

But the proportions of the 2000v are better . The only thing I would really like to see is 1) a little bit thinner, closer to the 2000v 2) let the end links at the bracelet come in more instead of flaring out so much. That’s mainly for me though as my wri... 

And even better would be to also have it made in titanium... like the one piece they made for a certain mountaineer not too long ago...

I'd question your source on those figures.

I still think the figure is wrong. Seems a little low. But my thoughts are just an opinion until I have some concrete data. Thanks again.

Seems low to me too. Isn't 20K about where Vacherons start (other than maybe the fiftysix line)?

By this chart they are apparently twice as popular as Rolex (by volume). But, I don’t see that many out there.
