Just wondering if anyone else likes the looks of this watch. As a certified WIS, I am constantly looking at all brands and seem to stop a little longer at this particular model.
I like the non chrono, but the slate chrono looks awesome. I really like how they incorporated the maltese cross logo into the bracelet links.

Like? No. Adore. The chrono version is amazing. Look at the detail on the bracelet.

That bracelet is amazing. There's a VC AD near my office, I often stop at the window to look at it.

I have a lot of time for VC. That wouldn't be my choice of model, but it's certainly not unpleasant :lol:

Problem is that my casual browsing WAS limited to that particular model..... but I have now seem the chrono version and WOW. I know whats on my "short list" for a 2011 purchase now!

Now isn't this a beautiful thing to behold?

I'm not a fan of the Dual Time, but that OS Chrono on bracelet is outragously nice. The slate gray dial is a beaut as well. Have you held one? Ohhhh man. :drool:

We don't have a VC dealer anywhere close, so no I haven't held one. At that price point its a good damn thing too. The pictures alone make me want one. I have also thought about a VC gold dress watch, but good thing for me I don't have a reason to wear a gold dress watch! :)

Well if you come into a spare $68K, go for the yellow gold OS chrono on bracelet with white dial. I think I could only wear that if fully bubble wrapped.
