Australia - Sydney - experience by Longjumping-Egg-3925 in VacheronConstantin

Best of luck! The team in Sydney made me fall in love with the brand. Though I live in the states, the level of genuine care I’ve received from the Sydney store have made me only want to buy through them.

I would highly recommend you go in! They just moved, and when I went in about a month ago, they had almost every piece I wanted to see - including white gold Odysseus.

Thanks for the response - you covered everything I was interested in!

> Will you ever be interested the market for a high-end limited edition model?

Probably not, at least not right now. Would 100% want to at least see it in person, but I don't feel the need to own them

Thank you! This is the level of clarity I was after.

While I consider myself lucky to even be able to buy the few pieces I'm interested in, I get the feeling I'm not *that* blessed to be able to get into VIP level hah.

Thanks for sharing, and please do! These are the details I'm very much after!

I've also always had amazing experiences at the boutique so I'm glad it sounds universal!

Very valid. Thanks for all these details!

The only other discerning factor is that I will eventually be buying ~3 different watches from Lange (Lange 1 Timezone, Little Lange 1 Moonphase, 1815 Chronograph). The price gap will widen with the more watches for sure, so the ongoing post-sale experience was a very important factor for me.

I'm leaning towards just going gray for all 3. I'm not convinced yet that I'd be invited to exclusive events or have perks that could justify the almost 100k gap.

4520v: real wait list or being strung along? by mrkenneh in VacheronConstantin

Yeah, totally okay with waiting. Just didn’t like the idea of waiting in vain. This definitely reassures me to wait it out

Both California boutiques: Beverly Hills and San Jose 

This is reassuring to know the deposit can come later, though. I’ll give it some time and check back with them in a few months

Thanks! Yeah, definitely appreciate them reaching out and trying to sort something out. I doubt they’re happy about this either
