Too busy...weird face effect. Once you get past the cool openwork (it is cool), it still needs to be well designed. This isn't IMO.

big fan of this watch.

rolexfanforlife · 19 December 2021, 11:17 PM

I think I’m decided on RG- both are awesome but I think it pops more!

GreenLantern · 21 December 2021, 02:51 PM

I do wish they'd stop making Complete Calendars. It's lazy. It's easy enough to make the jump to Annual. Just do it.

Errrr

They make things fab more eleborate than an AC and also make PC, so nothing lazy about it.

Also do you know who history has the AC? Yup Patek! Unofficially they stay away from making them for that reason

I know they do.

That said, a CC is boring to me.

WatchEater666 · 21 December 2021, 04:52 PM

I feel like so many VC pieces are a few small design tweaks away from being absolutely awesome and this is one of them. Not for me.

Agreed.

JF100 · 22 December 2021, 10:15 PM

I'm gonna pick mine up tomorrow will try and post pics.

GB-man · 22 December 2021, 11:50 PM

While I’m not excited by this specific piece I am excited at VCs willingness to take an avant-garde approach to several offerings of late.

JF100 · 23 December 2021, 01:40 PM

Hey guys - picked up my openface today - put photos on the main Vacheron overseas thread. Cheers.

Agreed, I wish Lange would do more of this and release a lumen line on it's own.

Same. Unfortunately even 6 figures of spend doesn't make you eligible for a Lumen with Lange. Their stupid games are a big turn off for long-term collectors of the brand that bought when resale was absolute garbage.

I saw these in the boutique a few days ago.
For some reason it just misses the mark for me. I kept seeing code.1159
I wanted to like it more. It does look good on your wrist though, better than I thought, congratulations!

Looks amazing, if I had to nitpick, I’d hope for a movement that better fills out the case back, but still an awesome release.

What do you guys think?

I'll post pix in a min the site is giving me trouble!

I saw this in the VC Boutique on Rodeo Drive a few weeks back. Really nice piece in person but a tad big for *my* personal taste. The dial is nicely done.

XQsMe33 · 21 February 2022, 10:17 AM

Frigging beautiful, can’t wait to see one in person

HurricaneHarry · 24 May 2022, 12:52 AM

Hey guys,

Congrats! I was looking on the forum for some people who might have made the same purchase.
I just received this piece and I have not been this excited for an incoming in a very long time. Enjoyed the whole process and I’m very impressed by the watch in person. Would never pay current grey market prices for steel sports models, makes you think the price for this is a “steal”.
Wanted to share some pictures!
Cheers
