Am I dumb? VCA content.

I bought a bunch of stuff at VCA in Bellagio today and figured I should get a watch too. Ordered the Retrograde minutes dual time zone jumping hour. I mean the complication is insane, so why not right?

I’ve not paid too much attention to their men’s watches to be honest, the poetry of time however has always caught my attention.

On the men’s side the only one I actually recall off hand is the one you bought, dual time jump hour retrograde seconds. To me, an appealing watch for sure. Agenhor movement right?

How does it wear? Some pictures please.

Interestingly I’ve learned recently that VCA has become a hot thing with the kids, Alhambra is one of the “it” pieces to show off on social media. I’m all for timeless classics and Alhambra is surely one of those so it’s all good.

Yeah that one, I’m getting white gold with the white dial. Will definitely post pics when I get it.

Yeah I got my wife addicted to Alhambra. I bought the onyx one for myself today to wear with my DD40 onyx.

Cool timepiece, fun and unique. Congrats

I like the brand so I was just going to get a plain uncomplicated piece eventually, but then I saw this and for the money it’s insane. Big three you’re not getting anything like this for anywhere close to this price.

I’m actually going to sell a Patek to fund this and also make up for the jewelry damage we did. Ordered a onyx Alhambra to match my DD 40 onyx.
