Arghhh...I wish the board had an edit function! Don't know why not, Bill? Many others do...
Anyway, I realized that Dan Shao wouldn't forgive me if I didn't mention the Chronometre Royal Ref. 6110 with the same Maltese Cross lugs, along with the center seconds version Ref. 6161 and 6111.

I had not noticed that the lugs echo the Maltese Cross design
It is this kind of detail that I love discovering in Vacheron watches. They seem to reveal themselves over time, at least to me, and with the guidance of keener eyes than mine, to be sure. Ok, Bill, you really need to stop posting these reviews. They only...

I can forgive you for anything watch related!!! More importantly, there is an edit function, that allows you to make changes within 15 minutes of the original post. Best Regards, Dan P.S. I love these lugs!
I can edit if you need things done after the fact.....
and I was going to share the photo of the 6161 that I had in the collection, which is my favorite particular take on this case due to the extraordinary fine finishing of the movement: I don't believe production of the Chronometer Royal models in this case...
also the 6351

I once owned a 6405, which had that case....

Thinness with reliability is still the biggest complication for me
