About the seconds at 9 o'clock....
Mar 23, 2015,13:13 PM
It is an unusual choice for Vacheron Constantin in a simple watch (though most traditional chronograph desings have the small seconds at 9), but it is a look that I am used to in a simple watch by way of the Panerai aesthetic, which I like.
As for the World Time, it would be a great way to get your first RG piece and a new complication into the collection. And as for the economics and timing of the World Time, that's between you and the seller, though it sounds like the IRS, and quite possibly the angel sitting on your shoulder, known to most of us as a wife, are slowing down the decision making process, which the devil on your other shoulder is working hard to counterbalance.

VC Traditionelle roll call!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 21st, 2015-20:36
There are so many variants of the Traditionelle on PuristSPro VC forum, owned by various PuristS friends here. Let's do a roll call ! Inspired by many of you, I wore my Traditionelle today to church. A pic here to start the roll call going Cheers Robin...
Beautiful, Robin! :)

Funny I start a thread that ended up self poisoning myself lol Thanks Blomman for these beautiful shots! Cheers Robin
Everytime I see your boutique cream dial edition
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 22nd, 2015-01:40
I ask myself why didn\'t I consider this previously. Such a beauty! Elegant and warm. Thanks for the shots! Looks great on you! Cheers Robin
Thanks for the wrist shot of the cream dial!
By: wisPete : April 10th, 2015-20:23
I've been very curious about this variation, but couldn't find a wrist shot of it until now. It looks gorgeous on the wrist!! Thanks for sharing
Agree with Nico!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 22nd, 2015-01:43
A true feast for our eyes ! Thanks in advance Cheers Robin
Wow! Yes you have 2 Traditionelles :)
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 22nd, 2015-01:42
Both are rare and elegant pieces ! Actually I love the Traditionelle so much I don\'t mind having the platinum version too even though that means I have 2 watches with the same movement (something I generally avoid). This may be the exception for me Your ...
Nice pics of the PT Traditionelle !
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 24th, 2015-19:35
Thanks for sharing. You took it from different angles with both sharp and imaginary feels. Very nice! Cheers Robin
Not seen this reference in the metal before
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 22nd, 2015-04:59
Thanks for your pics Patrickh! Looks great. a very simple and elegant dial with nice movement engraving Cheers Robin
Simple with diamond "baguette" for indexes ;-))
By: patrickh : March 22nd, 2015-05:12
Simply elegant and very discreet. Only owner could see them more distinctly. And the engraved rotor is one of the best done by VC, IMHO. I wish you to see it in the metal (Pt of course) Robin, Patrickh
Thanks for the info!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 24th, 2015-19:33
I hope to see it someday here in Singapore Cheers Robin

A version that did not show up here yet...

RG LE boutique 75 pcs for the opening of the VC Salon 2 rue de la Paix in Paris From a distance, it looks almost like a regular RG Traditionnelle But looking a lit a bit closer, you discover a wonderful hand made guilloche dial that is totally unique And ...
RG Boutique edition guilloche dial
By: 2muchtimeonmyhands : March 22nd, 2015-20:10
Not mine sadly (at least not yet anyway) but had the pleasure of trying on the RG Boutique edition guilloche dial recently. By the way, Mike H please post some more shots of the Paris boutique edition, the dial is incredible This message has been edited b...
I like your wrist shots :)
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 23rd, 2015-04:36
The color combination with your clothes is nice! This edition is nice but the Paris one is even more special I agree. Cheers Robin
Thanks
By: 2muchtimeonmyhands : March 23rd, 2015-23:42
Thanks, although the choice of clothes were purely practical as I was stuck in NY during the recent snow without a proper coat and needed as many layers on as possible :) I just realised I posted my first reply in the wrong place as well
I like it Bill
By: jtodd : March 23rd, 2015-11:46
Looks great. It took me a while to get used to the small seconds at 9 o'clock, but I like it. I am slowly warming to rose Gold pieces. Really want that world timer that Joseph posted above and yes, I know someone who has one. However, tax time is not a gr...

Counterbalances...

LOL Bill your analogy is funny! You are being Vladdy too! :P Cheers robin
Good to see the 87172 auto in the mix :)
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 23rd, 2015-23:33
Nice addition to our list here Bill! I considered this but chose the manual version as I preferred the sub seconds dial at 6 o'clock. But this one is a beauty too. The date window balances the seconds dial at 9 o'clock pretty well Cheers robin
Nice pic!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 24th, 2015-19:03
Thank you for sharing! I am sure you have a nice garden. :) Cheers robin
It finally happened: my first VC

This 'round' one is for you, Nicolas=). Now I have to wait a week for it to go out of state and then back. Apologies, in advance, if my jeans and sleeveless-ness are ruining the pic. To Robin: this is bro-pair number 2! Cheers! Peter ...
Congrats Peter!!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : April 25th, 2015-20:47
You are on a roll! Nice one and yes , another bro watch we have! Enjoy in the best of health my friend Start a new VC Thread here to share your new joy when you have some time Cheers Robin
