 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 23rd, 2016-23:44
I have been searching for a Christmas/Year end watch for the past few weeks. Considered some Breguets, a Gronefeld Remontoire, an Angelus U40 Tourbillon and a Patek Calatrava - all rather diverse and mixed up lol Obviously I don't really know what I wante...  

Great way to enter the festive season!

So it appears that two out of the three non-Lange watches at the recent GTG were yours, then? Cheeky, cheeky... I am a huge admirer of the 1921 line and this edition is certainly the rarer, more unique version. Congratulations and looking forward to seein...

The VC exchanged hands during the gtg hehe

Congratulations, bro!

This is a surprise after your Breguet selection post. But what a nice surprise this is! The case / wrist proportion is perfect!

thanks a lot bro !

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 24th, 2016-04:58
I wanted something very classical and I thought this was it !

It is, indeed. [nt]

Somehow when I saw the rebels in the GTG shot, I had a suspicion that this was yours Perfect timing for Christmas!

Thank you bro !

You have a great eye for watches, Robin. M4

Thanks a lot M4!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 24th, 2016-20:47
My taste evolves but it's getting more and more towards classical and lower key these days I must admit

Thank you my friend !

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 24th, 2016-20:47
Merry Christmas!!

thanks a lot Nico !

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 24th, 2016-20:49
Rare or not, I just love the Historique 1921 series. We discussed before in Paris - the name Vacheron constantin, even if we don't know what timepiece to get from VC (they don't really have an icon), we still want a VC in our collection for the brand is s... 

True, my friend. A collection without a Vacheron is not a collection. As for the icons...

 
 By: amanico : December 25th, 2016-00:38
They have some... One example? The Chronometre Royal, manual winding. Best, my friend. Nico

True that Nico

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 26th, 2016-06:21
The Chronometre Royal is an icon indeed. The one with the white enamel and a red 12 is to die for !

Thanks a lot my friend!! [nt]

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 24th, 2016-20:49

Thank you !

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 24th, 2016-20:49
Yes the movement is very nicely finished and super easy to service too Not the most fancy movement but one that can last several life times

I admire your selection Robin!

 
 By: MichaelC : December 24th, 2016-08:17
Wow, that is gorgeous. I had not seen it before. I have never tried one of these rotated dial watched on my wrist, but this one is super interesting. And it is made my one of the best watch houses in the world! Merry Christmas my good friend. Best to you ... 

Thank you Michael !

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 24th, 2016-20:51
Yes it's a very special watch from a very special manufacture . Vacheron Constantin.... just by pronouncing the name of this great Maison, I feel a sense of reverence for the brand

Congrats Robin. This LE is top even if I have a preference for the regular model

 
 By: Alkiro1 : December 24th, 2016-09:03
Merry Christmas Best wishes Alkiro

Thanks Alkiro !

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 24th, 2016-20:52
The regular model is also very nice! In fact I prefer that initially but over time, fell for this New York edition too - something about the old school numerals and heart shaped hand bit me !

You took the right decision. You're a man of taste ;-)

 
 By: Alkiro1 : December 26th, 2016-06:12
Enjoy and wear it in good health. Best wishes Alkiro

Thanks for your kind words Alkiro ! :) [nt]

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 26th, 2016-06:23

My pleasure my friend ;-)

Superb Robin

I can't believe I missed this post, Robin

 
 By: respo : December 29th, 2016-08:46
I did see your big news on Instagram, but missed this post. I must admit I am a bit jealous even though I am so very excited for you. The 1921 in RG was my first VC and remains a favorite and very dear to me. But I have considered hunting the NY Boutique ... 

Thank you Respo!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 30th, 2016-03:58
yes I remember you have the RG VC 1921, which is beautiful too !! This YG doesn't look too yellow actually. I compared it to my Cartier Tank LC and Moser Endeavor small Seconds (both in RG) and I feel they look pretty much the same Color tone wise. Only m... 

Ah...

 
 By: didwlgh : January 18th, 2017-20:44
I remember this one...wear it in good health!!! And do let me know if you get tired of it. Who knows...full circle ;-)

Lol thanks buddy !

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : January 21st, 2017-00:24
yes I remember Cheers Robin

Fantastic catch, Robin!

 
 By: AlexSunrise : January 19th, 2017-10:21
And it´s good to have those friends ;-) How are you enjoying it a month into owning it? Best wishes for the New Year, my friend, Alex

Thanks Alex !

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : January 21st, 2017-00:24
I enjoyed it for 2 weeks then decided to send it to the VC service center for a spa. Been a few years so I thought it's time for the watch to have a well deserved spa Cheers Robin
