Not personally my favourite VC, but yes, it is nice. I'm not sure whether the crown would get annoying though. |

Are they considered good watches / good value for money? I can't say I know a lot about them to be honest. They are certainly high end pieces. They don't have the same cachet as a PP, Lange & Sohne, etc, but then they aren't in that price category either - at least for comparable pieces. I find that a lot of them are similar to one another and if I am going to pay that much for a dress watch then I'm likely to pay that bit more for a Lange & Sohne. However, the Les Historiques range (that this American 1921 is from) are different and the Quai de L'Ile range are very special in my opinion - especially the ones that can be customised. |

I have loads of "sporty watches" and have been looking more and more at the more dressy brands and models. For a straight gold dress, I really like Vacheron. Simple and elegant. Patek's are extremely overpriced IMO and Lange are bad ass with a price to match. I might not be ready to shell out the money required to pick up one of these brands, new, but a used Vacheron is easily within range and very classy. I have also been looking more and more at GO, but the models I like are out of my reach.... |

i think it's a stunner and Vacheron is, well, Vacheron. Sure it's dressy, it's a DRESS watch. Speakng of watches, I was wearing my Bentley GT the other day when a friend said, "that's the gawdiest watch I've ever seen." The hospital says he should be released in a couple days and the GT shaped indentation in his head should heal up eventually. |

Sorry Bronco, but that VC isn't doing it for me. I like a few VC models but that one's just not one of them. Reminds me a little too much of an offset Radiomir. Oh and Dornblueth & Sohn make some excellent value (and high quality) pieces. |

Its like they tried to make it look different just for the sake of being different. Of course, I have no clue if there is some sort of historical significance that I dont know about. |

I like it. understated, but just different enough to get noticed. |
