Vacheron Constantin

My first and only one VC was

 


A Chrono Malte in White gold...

I sold it, a bit deceived by the finish of the dial, the too many writings,and the comfort on the wrist.

But I loved this watch, and believe me or not, but I regretted it a bit, with his inconvenients, as I loved the caqse, the lugs and the hands.

I considered a Mercator, and yes, I'm really in love with this watch, I missed some years ago.

But I recently found a new old stock Mercator in platinum, and I'm thinking about it...

I even tried it, and it can be a great competitor to come backl to VC...

I love its poesy, I love it a lot...

But, there is a big but, I also found another watch I considered a lot after having sold my VC Chrono Malte, and I may have a surprise for you...

If the seller is kind with me...

LOL

Best.

Nicolas

My First VC...

 
By: WHL : September 23rd, 2008-11:57
I began my descent into the madness of collecting wristwatches back in 1998 with the purchase of a Chronoswiss Opus. With one nice watch I was quite happy. But I wanted more. About a year later I added an IWC Mark XV to my collection. I was even happier. ...

Bought about 2 years ago. I collect manily PP and Rolex but when this came along I could not pass it up. Beautiful PG case,great lugs and a stunning dial. If it had PP on the dial I do not think I would have been able to afford it. Come to think of it, I ...

Hi Bill, As you know, I already put the story of my first VC on this forum - as my very first post. Here is a pointer to that post: vacheron.watchprosite.com Since then, I've picked up 2 other VCs, a 1908 Chronometer Royal pocket watch - which is in VC's ... 

Hi! My first VC is the Oversear Chronometer slate blue dial.

Until now I still wear it. Its my favorite bracelet watch as you said and described earlier and still with me for almost 9 years now. I really prefer this more than the new OS. It is a well balance watch!

After purchasing my first VC. I got a DTR in PG last May 2007

and another just recently on June 2008 a Malte Chrono in WG. I have not sold any of my collections since 1996 (Rolex Sea Dweller, Rolex Explorer, Rolex Oyster Perpetual, IWC XII, Zenith El Primero with Moon phase).

Exclusively Vacheron

Hi Folks: Absolutely wonderful to hear about all those who have focused exclusively on Vacheron & Constantin, no matter how big or small the collection. I'm proud to join you! Dan, my first VC was also the original Overseas chronometer, with blue dial. I ...  

Hey Bill a little help

Perhaps I am showing that I am a little wet behind the ears.... But I am wondering about these auction catalogs of which you speak. I am debating on an overseas dual time, or possibly a UN diver depending on the financial conditions.... The US$ is really ... 

Auction catalogs are a treasure!

Hope I'm not butting in but I think you would really enjoy browsing auction catalogs as a way of learning and deciding on what to purchase. Printed catalogs are available prior to auctions from the auction houses but are expensive (although Sotheby's just...
