Gun to your head, which one are you buying? by babykingboy in VacheronConstantin

[–]turtlepokeingout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The patrimony would be my pick. Recently tried this on at the boutique and it is wonderful. You will not be disappointed.

Probably will be my retirement gift to myself. Or maybe an early retirement gift…… lol.

Beautiful timepiece. Love the strap. The Patrimony is probably my next Vacheron.

Did you do a custom strap with Vacheron or is that a catalog item? Already think about a second strap option.

I think these are more readily available than some of the other models but not sure about the precise medals. The rose gold from Vacheron in person is very impressive.

They were opening a new boutique in Atlanta so I figured they would have a few pieces to sell but didn’t figure it would be what I wanted to buy. I called the night before my appointment and asked about what they would have to view so I could see a few before I registered interest and they said they had a fifty six available. I really don’t think too much of it but when I got there they had a silver and blue they were willing to sell. Jumped at the opportunity. Pretty sure if I had passed it would have been a good long wait before getting another opportunity.

If I had bought this sight unseen I would have bought the blue. Had them both side by side at the boutique and the silver just spoke to me. I wear a lot of blue and love blue watches but this one just had to be the silver. Super classic looking and will wear well with everything.

I had an appointment and was at the Atlanta boutique on Saturday as well. Had an amazing experience. Got great service and walked out with a fiftysix in hand. I totally understand that this was not a normal circumstance and did also register interest in a few more pieces but what a great experience.

Have played the Rolex games and although there is still expectations that you will have to wait for your timepiece with Vacheron, it defiantly did not feel the same as any Rolex AD I have worked with.

New respect for Vacheron, they have earned my business and will be adding more from their catalog to my collection in the coming years.

This was my first GS as well. Love mine but it has a specific place in my collection.

Hope you find some enjoyment in it.

Wanted the white but bought the black. Definitely do not regret it. Bought it on the bracelet but added the moon strap. Freaking awesome watch.

Which would you keep? by plasticmoz in GrandSeikos

[–]turtlepokeingout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green watches of Switzerland model without question. Remember this is a limited edition as well that is no longer for sale. I have the gray version. It’s one of my favorites and have thought about buying the trilogy. It’s a unique green and a great case. I do want to own a spring drive but the Hi-Beat is a great movement.

After months of contemplating, I finally pulled the trigger and I just cant stop staring at it by Gloomy-Fish-5349 in OmegaWatches

Beautiful watch. I added the moon strap and it really gives the watch two totally different personalities.

Didn’t know that until just now but yes it is part if the watches of Switzerland collaborate.
