Incoming! Vacheron OS Blue Dual Time

Super excited to get my first Vacheron Constantin. I've always kind of shied away from VC in the past due to terrible resale values. As much as I change out timepieces, it was always a hurdle I couldn't wrap my head around.

Ever since the new Gen 3 OS line came out, I've been eyeing this Dual Time Blue Dial for some time now and decided to finally pull the trigger.
I must say that it looks even better in real life than in pictures.

I am really impressed with the finishing on the watch. It really is excellent, especially for an SS piece. The movement is incredibly nicely finished and the overall fit is superb. For those of you on the fence, I would say, go for it as I don't think you will regret it. They seem to be hard to come by nowadays too.

As it didn't happen without wrist shots, here is a couple of quick photos from my phone.

Congrats! It looks nice on the leather too and I might try it soon. Have been wearing mine on the rubber since I got it cause it’s so comfortable.

May I ask where acquired this piece? Seems sold out at ADs. Thanks!

Your best bet is going to be VC boutique.
