I have a Pilot myself but that's the only small watch they have.
The Mark 18 was almost perfect except for the misplaced date window.

Big fan of the Portuguese too (white dial, blue hands, Arabic numerals) but can't pull it off.

Ouch, straight for the jugular.

Not really a fan of their watches but that tea canister is a work of art.

AP in July. Pp in October. Now vc completes the Holy Trinity of price increases

I like it. All 3 Snoopys have a unique look to them.

If I were to be pedantic, I wished they used the correct chrono seconds hand for DON bezel.

But the rm40k ask, ouch

Feels good to be out and about wearing watches again.

I see you pulled the trigger on the US bracelet after all

The tri-date was a feature of the Mark 17 line. The (current) Mark 18 then went back to single date.

Finally got to see the VC Overseas in person, and they had all 3 variants available in the boutique today.

The blue was beautiful but can be hard to photograph.
Unfortunately, it wore a little too large for me, so I had to give it a pass.

The experience at the boutique was great though, with well-stocked cases and very helpful and informative sales staff.
Very homely, compared to feeling like just a number in other ADs.

They had a 37mm with a slightly different dial layout.
Tried that too but no dice.

All 3 colours were ready stock today, about 32k AUD.
I don't expect it to last the weekend though.

Yes Melbourne.
I'm not sure about allocation, but I feel it's a much more cornered market, and harder for newbies like me to break into.

If you get it at a big enough discount, it helps with the initial depreciation.

My Bond is now 11 years old, and I think I can finally flip it for a small profit

Nice shot

Any thoughts on dabbling in macros for the tapisserie dial?

Sun, sand and Seamaster.

Closest thing to home these days...

Some days, I set it 2 clicks past 12, sit back and watch the world burn

That's it for fuzzy already, both side also poison

No incomings for me, but I did manage to try on a bit of bling today.

No idea how incubus_skj does it, but full gold bling looks plain silly on me

Tbh, I'm starting to appreciate their play on materials, and how they're trying to modernise an icon like the RO, which design-wise offers very little they can tinker with.

Their code line is probably also a couple of iterations away from mainstream acceptance, so I think they're probably attracting more of the younger crowd as compared to PP (which judging by your unker reaction probably suggests I'm on to something )

But in terms of sizes, they typically have 2 sizes - 37/41 for the RO, 38/41 for the ROC and 42/44 for the ROO, so something for everyone.

The RO bracelet is a real work of art though.

I'm a believer, although not of the basic ones la. I like their complicated variants. Time will tell
