Can't agree more with you. I anticipate VC to continue go below MSRP. This year their took the direction to release exclusive custom pieces instead of releasing new existing hot models. Honestly, I would not blame VC for the price adjustments. The Richemont group definitely got ahead of themselves in raising their prices. Happened with JLC, Lange, Cartier, Van Cleef. Their online retail side of the business YNAP is losing money for almost a year, they had to do something to try and make money back.

Thank you for the review. Today, I expressed interest in Geneva boutique to buy SS black dial Overseas without complication. Perpetual calendar is not yet in my budget. The attitude in the boutique was superb, and I really liked the watch. You are right that buying watches as an investment is wrong strategy, unless you buy at retail and put it immediately to the vault for several years. In this scenario, there is no enjoyment of wearing the watch which completely messes the enjoyment of collecting. Not my choice.

Vc makes beautiful watches, no doubt. The problem is the horrible depreciation. People will say buy them used but still does not really save you from the depreciation. When you go to sell it most models are difficult to sell and dealers will want to give you drastically less than you paid if they will even take it at all. Some people believe when you buy something that’s extremely depreciated you getting a good value but you’re really just getting a product that was over priced to begin with and has low demand.

Kudos for the honesty. Loved this episode that was put out. VC is an amazing brand which is deserving of the status as one of the trio of the holy trinity. However I think management really dropped the ball when it came to managing the hype and building the brand. No surprises that they are now suffering immensely. It’s hilarious how they thought they were on route to stardom like the likes of AP and PP. in fact they probably thought they were going to cover all the ground lost in a much shorter span of time than the duo. All that unrealistic expectations and change in the level of service and attempts at bundling and following the likes of AP and PP really did them in. Today, it’s more expensive than ever to buy VC and likely the trust in the brand is eroded as money is better parked in AP or PP be it for status, or value retention.

I am shocked that the rotor stopped working. And you mentioned this occurred in other Vacheron’s too. At this price point free $100 dinner or $20 coffee isn’t enough. All this money is being paid for the quality of the watch, experience is secondary after quality product is delivered. I was planning to buy VC chronograph but I did more research after seeing your video. I don’t think VC deserves to be called a grail watch. Instead A. Lange & Söhne should be in its place as a holy grail and the second option would be JLC. It’s my opinion. But I think everyone would agree with me that at this level and price no matter what the reason might be, they should not malfunction so easily.

I bought a bespoke early 70's VC in white gold with the same base ultra-thin movement as in your perpetual (the 1121, the date only version) for about £900, pristine condition - that tells you what these things are really worth, and they aren't worth anything like retail.

This is a terrible video. You vacillate back and forth on your opinion and what you're saying doesn't make sense. For one, it sounds like you didn't really like the watch as you mention in the first 5 minutes due to the fact you had other watches in your collection, or on loan, that you preferred. At 4:48 you said, "I wasn't wearing it much." Then when you talk about why you sold, you said, "I wore the absolute hell out of my 4300v." Look, your opinion is your opinion, but don't speak out of both sides of your mouth. You weren't wearing it, you changed your mind, which is your prerogative, but you didn't wear the absolute hell out of it at all. I'm not sure how they sell VCs in Singapore, and maybe this is because your purchase experience was a few years ago, but in the US and on the global website, when you buy an Overseas, you get 3 bands, including the bracelet you lament not having. I hate when people buy watches they don't really like to begin with, only to complain the watch didn't live up to expectations. As people have pointed out, if you are building a collection, the number one priority should be do I like this watch, followed closely by, am I going to wear it?

@abhaig mist of the price of those watches is almost entirely due to perceived status. Very little of that price is due to tangible qualities such as quality of materials and style. It's similar to the tulip craze in Holland in the 18th century. It's almost all due to psychological factors and very little to the watch itself. Only fools buy into that paradigm.

@timeisahumanconstruct9251 even if I were a billionaire I would not buy into that fool's paradigm. I would spend my money on items that are expensive due to their intrinsic value, not almost exclusively due to their perceived social status. That 134000 watch is equivalent to the over priced tulips in 18th century Holland. Yes, he is a consumer sheep
