Vacheron Constantin

Happy to share some pics of my Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual time movement shot, calibre 5110DT. 🤗 I am amazed by the quality of finishing, and I own many watches from AP and PP, the other 2 "trinity" brand. It might very well surpasses the other two ...  

Patek Philippe absorbing the status freaks, so Vacheron Constantin can make watches for us who love the craftsmanship of watchmaking. The whole line up is mind blowing, from patrimony to twin beat. Real names instead of cold numbers.

VC for those that truely love watches. 👍🏼

I borrowed one from Vacheron Constantin, but I just decided I liked my Nautilus more mainly because the Nautilus was thinner.

It is up there with AP, Patek, etc, but unlike ( at least the icons of) those brands, VC is challenged by resale value... otherwise certainly no under-rating... enjoy your exquisite piece!
