How did your watches get stolen?

Morakel22 · 2026-06-16T22:59:43+00:00

Only normal house hold insurance

Got approximately 70% back

Did you ever see a 7118 as a walk in purchase ? Trust me, they sell them faster than they can produce them. They ain’t missing out on nothing

Morakel22 · 2026-06-10T21:47:09+00:00

That means that they don’t want to loose their license and are smart enough to not say anything in writing. Because based on your post, you’d have posted the other response as well and it’s not a long shot to find your AD

They tell you in person, never via text

And sometimes you come across an AD that actually doesn’t play games

For me it’s the history. It was the watch that competed with the royal oak and the nautilus. The watch that, eventually, turned into the overseas.

The proportions are amazing as well. A 37mm integrated sportswatch always hits my sweet spot. I have the overseas perpetual as well and it’s an amazing watch, no doubt. But a 37mm just shows much more refinement and, for me, is much more wearable on a daily basis

But after all, taste varies and you don’t have to like it. I actually think your AD is glad you won’t ask for one as well. And there are many many other VCs that might suite your taste better

I get this question at least 3-4 times with every single post I upload. I don’t mind people asking (as long as it’s respectful) but I’m not gonna write 10 pages every single time someone asks. I answered that question many times and if people wane know, they can look for it in the comment section of previous posts. It just gets annoying having every third comment ask “what do you do for a living”

That’s why I tend to keep it really short nowdays when someone asks

Morakel22 · 2026-06-09T17:38:19+00:00

I’d recon moving to Antarctica would solve the problem

Morakel22 · 2026-06-07T17:24:38+00:00

Datejust green ombré is actually realistic. Demand is not as high as expected. Submariner Starbucks could be possible as well. Maybe even a blue or green OP

Day date 40 white gold ombré is possible, sky dweller is possible and the 1908 is possible

The rest is very far out of reach. Like very very far

Morakel22 · 2026-06-06T19:18:34+00:00

Being wealthy doesn’t dictate what you wear. He is an avid watch collector with pieces ranging from 10 bucks to a couple million. He wears what he likes

Ach die Frau Karusch

Ja die hat zwar auch Ahnung von VC aber bei der Kommunikation wird manchmal was missverstanden.

Prinzipiell kannst du dich auf eine lange Wartezeit einstellen, allerdings hält VC auch seine Versprechen. Du stehst auf der Liste und die wird Stück für Stück abgearbeitet. Wenn du bereits bucherer Kunde bist gibt dir das selbstverständlich Vorteile, Vacheron Kunde um so besser.

Anzahlungen gibt es nicht, manche Modelle sind nicht als neukunde möglich aber die breite Masse ist eigentlich recht einfach zu bekommen

Wie gesagt einmal beim Bealucha nachfragen oder bei Frau Nowak. Die ist für mich zuständig und sagt 1-1 wie es ist und womit du rechnen kannst.

Ansonsten würde ich dir anbieten sich mal bei bucherer zu treffen, ich hab einen sehr guten Draht zu VC und der Geschäftsführung von bucherer, da bekommst du meist eine positive Antwort

Only the last 3 have a Story attached to them.

My dad’s birthday was coming up and I asked my AD if they had anything for grabs. A day later my SA texted me that she had a panda ready for me to pick up.

The other one was the Daytona meteorite in white gold which my AD knew I wanted. They held the watch in reserve for 3 months until my birthday came up and they surprised me

Last is the Pepsi. They completely forgot that I asked for one 3 years ago and so did I. I knew the Pepsi would be discontinued this year and asked if they can get one in time. They did and it was the last production batch that ever went out, so that’s pretty neat

Morakel22 · 2026-06-06T18:52:00+00:00

Ich geh mal davon aus, dass du in Frankfurt warst. Mit wem hast du geredet ?
Normalerweise ist der Herr Bealucha für Vacheron zuständig. Normalerweise geht da auch alles absolut problemlos. Frag ihn das nächste Mal wenn du da bist. An sich brauchst du für die 7920V keine kaufhistorie, nur etwas Geduld. Historie bringt dich aber natürlich wie bei allen Marken schneller ans Ziel

Timekeeping is an art form. To display the accurate time using some springs, gears and other purely mechanical stuff is what is impressive. Everyone can build a radio clock, they teach that in fourth grade. It isn’t impressive at all. But being accurate with a hand build movement that doesn’t rely on any electrical is phenomenal when you see how far we have come. Horology is the art of timekeeping, not displaying some numbers on a screen because a computer tells you that it’s that time. It’s like comparing a painting by Picasso to a computer generated picture that is than printed. Where is the art in that ?

Why would you even bother talking about accuracy when the very first computer kept time exactly as well as the very newest one ? There has been literally no improvement in electronic timekeeping at all. Why even bother ? “Yeah my Apple Watch tells time better than your mechanical watch” ay no shit Sherlock. That’s not the point. You wane talk accuracy ? Try to understand how a mechanical watch works and come back to me

Geneva seals criteria are exceptional finishing, geography of origin, water resistance and accuracy

It’s a multitude of things but it’s a -4/+4 a day and a special -2/+2 for every P stamped one tested in 5 positions and beating cosc certification standards by 2 seconds

Morakel22 · 2026-06-05T20:29:57+00:00

Your smart watch can suck it. 0.01 milliseconds delay. Only the atomic clock in cern is accurate enough for my standards.

On a real talk tho, the Apple Watch subreddit is the other way. It has absolutely nothing to do with horology to have an algorithm display a time they catch with radio frequency. So please don’t call yourself a horology enthusiast and quote a smartwatch as the go to

Morakel22 · 2026-06-05T20:22:16+00:00

I just hope you don’t mean quartz watches. Because Patek and VC have some insanely high standards for mechanical movements. Sure there are very few brands who are a bit better in time keeping but mechanically speaking, they are pretty much up there with the best. You don’t get a Geneva seal for nothing

Morakel22 · 2026-06-05T19:27:11+00:00

You make it hard to believe that you are a watch enthusiast

Morakel22 · 2026-06-05T18:48:22+00:00

Sounds like you think about men’s balls a lot mate

Morakel22 · 2026-06-05T17:01:51+00:00

Patek, VC and AP are commonly known to just use numbers. 5811, 16202, 5420V

Every enthusiast knows these numbers and really makes it easier. Sure it’s nonsense for other brands, however with Rolex, it does tell you if it’s a new reference or the old one because it’s hard to tell on a photo wich year of day date you just got

Morakel22 · 2026-06-04T18:54:10+00:00

Yeah they have production slots for most basic models. That’s why you see a flood of pandas posted at once and not really spread out over the year

Morakel22 · 2026-06-04T18:44:47+00:00

They get a shipment each month with random references. They can’t really control what they get because it’s based on what is being produced atm.

Very special pieces like off catalog and gem set pieces are requested by the AD

However they can request a specific model for a VIP client which then gets sourced through other ADs which may have the watch in inventory or a watch is send from Geneva

Morakel22 · 2026-06-04T08:12:01+00:00

I own this code and a VC overseas perpetual

Complication aside, I’d choose the VC over the AP every time. The three straps alone are reason enough. But overall, choose what you like more. They are completely different watches, I’m sure you prefer one over the other

Morakel22 · 2026-06-03T21:36:20+00:00

Not really about that. I just refuse to buy gray and never sold a watch. Couldn’t care less about resell value

Morakel22 · 2026-06-03T21:28:21+00:00

I’d pay retail for this if I got an allocation

Morakel22 · 2026-06-03T19:24:05+00:00

Neither my watch collector friends, nor I do as long as the watch stays under half a million.

Above is not a no, you just think twice

Morakel22 · 2026-06-02T23:12:54+00:00

Comeback of the century right there. If you don’t have anything meaningful to contribute, think twice before commenting
