If you were to be gifted a Vacheron Constantin....
which one would you want?
Me? Make mine the American 1921:
I don't think I will ever tire of the look of the shifted dial.

Nice list.....
VC makes too many nice watches. It's a wonder that lesser brands haven't asked for a trade complaint to be filed against them for unfair competition! ;-) Bill
Marco Polo over the other three explorers?
or would any of the Great Explorer watches suit you? Bill
Okay, I was not paying too much attention...
.... I have seen only this. But, as long as it has the similar complication or the same caliber, I am okay with any great explorer's ) Ken
With distribution slowly trickling out....
you might have to wait until 2012 for this one to show up under your tree. Bill
Just got it.

If my gift-giving friend is from...
Manhattan, I wouldn't mind the American 1921 Boutique New York; otherwise, the Aronde 1954 would be just fine!
I actually prefer the standard 1921 to the NY Boutique Edition....
but would certainly be happy with either one! And the Aronde 1954 would be nice too. Okay, everything in the Historiques collection would be nice to have..... Bill
I would go for this!
Credit to our dearest friend Nicolas! You take the best shots of this beauty mon ami! Stephen...
+1, my favorite too...
Vacheron Constantin, in my opinion, has the richest history when it comes to skeletonized movements. This would be a fitting piece. I've heard a similar watch in rose gold, and although it wasn't very loud, it had excellent tonal qualities and speed. A se...
As long as Santa is gifting, I'll take a custom Ateliers de Cabonitiers...
My dream watch would use a cal 2755, but with the tourbillon only visible from the back and the PC indications being guichet windows., If it is a mere mortal that is gifting...I'll take any of them, I don't want to be considered greedy, ;-) BR, Dan
Very simple...
If I am allowed vintage I would go for one of the plain simple ultra-thins with a 1003/2 movement. Contemporary - a Quai de I'lle annual calendar with transparent dial in rose gold and titanium.
Still attracted too by the 1921
If I had to chose one today, maybe would it be the 1955, so elegant, pure : Best, Mark...
Platine Excellence Perpetual Chrono
It's my fave perpetual chrono of the last 10-15 years... yes, more than 5970!
A gift I got for myself for the New Year, Historiques 1912
with flexi lugs. This message has been edited by mell0822 on 2012-02-04 21:43:10...
Congratulations!
I've always been a fan of this model, mostly because of those lugs! Alas, I was not gifted any VC this holiday season. :-( Best, Bill
