Just wondering if there's any Vacheron Constantin enthusiasts here? I couldn't find any thread on it. Feel free to share here too.

I just bought the new FiftySix Day Date PowerReserve about a week ago. I was deciding between this or the A.Lange Saxonia Small seconds, it was difficult choice as the Lange boutique managed to source the blue dial which is now discontinued. But I'd like my watch to be a bit more practical and much prefer to have a power reserve indicator. I may perhaps get a Lange in future when funds permits.
Vacheron has never been on my radar despite being invited to a few VC events in the past. But it peaked my interest, when I was invited and introduced the FiftySix line at the VC launch party late last year. Of all 3 models I was immediately drawn to the DayDate but held back from purchasing (I don't like to buy on impulse). I like how it's not overly dressy, fresh, inconspicuous and understated. I do like the Date only version as well especially the newly 'blue note' that was announced at SIHH recently. I guess VC has done the job in moving me away from Rolex lol. Also there's no AD games on waiting lists, mark ups etc etc.

Anyway...after trying on various models and options available from VC and Lange, it is done.

There are plenty of boxes with a box, and other collaterals i.e manuals, pin, hang tags, card holder, etc.



It comes in the new shiny piano finished box which I much preferred. Inside you have an option to either display one or two watches which is handy.




Here's the watch. May not be everyone's cup of tea but I love it! Pictures doesn't do it justice and needs to be tried on the wrist. I can't stop staring at the dial and how it indices reflects the surrounding lights.



You could see the boxed type sapphire crystal.



It was really generous of VC to give a box of red packets during CNY.



and some close ups



The hand is nicely polished and rounded off on the Date hand.



And of course the back.
Unlike the simpler Automatic date, this uses VC's in-house caliber 2475 SC/2 with an updated skeletonised 22k rotor.





the attention to detail and finishing is immaculate, definitely worthy of the Poinçon de Genève.



That's it for now as the forum wouldn't allow me to post more photos.

Woowww. Wear in good healthh

Lange vs VC, hard choice mang...

Between the 2, I would've gone for the Lange, but it's a personal thing as I typically prefer clean dials over busy ones.

Plus I feel Lange as a brand carries more panache over VC - again, personal thing.

Regardless, congratulations and wear it in good health

Many thanks! I was so close to purchasing the Lange but perhaps next time. My missus says it looks too similar to a Daniel Wellington from afar lol...

a few more pics







I like how VC's leather strap has a cut away for easy access to the spring bar. Simple solution but so effective.

I suppose if ask for price, I shouldnt be in this forum?

nice..

It's actually on the website. Also I've looked, Msia has probably the best price in comparison to other countries. Maybe due to import tax.
We always get shafted in the UK.

Thank you boss

Nice watch

No worries Thanks, I really like the look of it. I don't mind the complete calendar too but have no use for the moon.

Looks stunningly beautiful even just pictures. Would like to try it one day

Nice picture taking

Awesome!

This is a beautiful watch. 👍🏻

mang, that's a very nice watch! n that lume!

Thanks for looking.

Since then, I've acquired a VC Montblanc pen to go with it. As far as I know these are pretty rare



The nib is incredible to look at



and there's the Maltese cross engraved throughout the body. The pattern glistens as it catches light.







Makes a great companion with the LePetit Prince too
