Your Impressions?
Perception is reality, but sometimes, we as the customer can be a bit overly sensitive to the environment.
While I've never patronized the Vacheron Constantin store on Rodeo Drive, I was neither acknowledged nor greeted by an employee of the Vacheron Constantin store in Costa Mesa. Furthermore, the most ironic part is that the salesperson at VC Costa Mesa was someone I was familiar with from Tourneau Costa Mesa.
No insult perceived, no insult taken by the lack of acknowledgement. Probably a small loss in professionalism at most.
I think it's important for us to be humble customers as well. Entitled, boorish, and greedy behavior on the behalf of customers is very annoying for store employees and they see it all the time. I assure you, the store employees have many more faux pas crimes committed to them by customers, than they do to their customers.
Overseas Self-Wind Movement Noise
Hi, I am new to the site and apologize if this question has been addressed, but I would really appreciate some clarification. I have a Vacheron Overseas three hand model with the titanium bezel/gray dial. I noticed a "zipping" noise when the rotor circula...
Welcome Dumachel!
In general, that particular movement is usually fairly quiet. Many watches do make rotor noises (for instance many ETA base calibers do make some noises). If it's noticeable when worn on the wrist and not immediately close to your ear, then you may have a...
Question cleared....
Hi Patrick, Many thanks for the suggestion. What a complete brain lapse on my part for not thinking of that sooner. Prior to your feedback, I went to extreme measures to figure investigate the issue when the simple solution was what you proposed... ("fore...
Glad my suggestion worked.
Which boutique did you go to? Glad that everything is fine.
South Coast Plaza Boutique
Honestly, I prefer the South Coast Plaza boutique in Orange County, CA. They treat you with respect regardless of how you dress or your age. Beverly Hills was nice but they were a little assuming...

Happy New Year
Thanks for the message. Agreed, I should just stick with the timepieces and not worry about the environment. Happy New Years! And thanks for the advice. Now I can go into the new year not worrying about my VC Overseas!
Happy New Year To You As Well!
Enjoy your VC watch. Just some clarification. We shouldn't not worry about the environment, if there was anyone rude to you and you didn't deserve it, call them out on it. But otherwise, we shouldn't be overly sensitive about the environment.
Agree 100% with Patrick
No point letting some poor service bother us too much but if really bad, we can simply feedback to the boutique manager or our contacts from the watch companies' HQ. I used to be very sensitive (not that I complain all the time but my mood gets affected) ...
