Not sure which "advising" you are asking for if you already decided you "will" take it, but it is certainly another beautiful SS + blue dial + bracelet watch, no doubt about that ;-)
To be always honest though, I'd never pay one cent above MSRP for it (nor for any Nautilus or Royal Oak, of course ;-) But I'm glad VC has also been able to create some hype, eventually!

Pulling the plug on VC 5400V blue…
Have been trying every option to find a new one… Boutique is not even accepting wait list anymore. Wven grey dealers in Dubai dont have new pieces ( 2 top grey dealers told me it is easier to find a 5711 than a VC 5300V nowadays). Yesterday, a dealer i kn...
