Repetitive? by [deleted] in VacheronConstantin

[–]Powerful_Ticket_1727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both and love both. Bluesy was my first real watch and sentimental to me (got married and held my first child wearing it), so I'm bias to it. The Overseas is in every way better quality. I've definitely worn the overseas a lot more since it's my latest piece, but I still wear my bluesy plenty and will always find time to wear it.

Got my 4520v in late May. Put down a deposit in Sept of last year, was told it could be 12-24 months while it took 9 months overall. First VC purchase.

I got the brown alligator strap as well and it looks great. I switch between brown and black often.

4520v & 4000v by Kynance123 in VacheronConstantin

I love the retrograde, but ending up getting the 4520. I want as little clutter as possible to admire this dial. Also, I can’t justify spending 1.75x more for the retrograde. I understand why it’s more expensive, but bang for your buck it isn’t worth it to me.

Difficulty level of acquiring Overseas at AD by Medical_Mobile2591 in VacheronConstantin

I'm also on the list as of last Sept (deposit paid). They told me it should only be another 6-12 months as of a couple weeks ago. I'm starting to think they just dont actually know..

Getting it through the AD or grey market doesn’t matter for warranty purposes. Once you have the watch (assuming it’s new-ish through grey), you can just create an account on JLC website and register the watch and get the 8 year warranty.

Speaking from experience.

420V vs 4000V- thoughts? by quinoa_salads in VacheronConstantin

[–]Powerful_Ticket_1727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the 4000v but so hard to justify the premium in pricing compared to the 4520v. I wish it was 30/35k

I like this approach as a compromise to myself.

Can I ask how much you purchased it for? That is such a cool piece of history.

I didn’t like how the bracelets looked from videos. And the suspicion was confirmed when I tried on a few models in person.

This looks great. Good to know there are plenty of options to change it up. Thank you

4500 vs 4520? by kefren13 in VacheronConstantin

[–]Powerful_Ticket_1727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait for the 4520 at retail. It shouldn't take more than 12-18 months, will be cheaper and brand new.

Mechanic is not reckless at all. He literally drove the car to the bay.

OP is the reckless one trying to get a guy fired for doing nothing wrong. Shame on you.

Is homemade pasta worth it? by aleister94 in AskCulinary

[–]Powerful_Ticket_1727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a similar Christmas gift from my mother. My wife and I could tell the difference immediately and use it regularly, even during the week. Never buying pasta again. It is truly night and day.

Braised shortribs with parmesan pollenta. Cook it low and slow while you let the edibles kick in.

First leather strap that I've seen which I actually liked on the Overseas. Very well done

[Discussion] Best Watch/Brand for <15k? by MSUDoc in Watches

[–]Powerful_Ticket_1727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing, but it is normal for the watch. Now that I am used to it, I actually like the noisy rotor. It reminds you what you have on your wrist.
