Maybe it just had to do with the lighting?

Cannot believe we are still talking about this dial nonsense! Who cares! The blue trades over retail price so if you dont like it just sell it, or better yet turn it down and take a different colour and let someone who wants a blue have it! End of.

I never heard so many people shying away from sunburst lol. It’s the same watch Folks, that’s why it’s so dynamic

Put mine down in February too. Were you given any updates recently as to when yours will arrive?

In July they said they expected shipments in Aug. In Sept they said they haven't received anything in 2 months and promised they would let me know. In Feb they said April for what it was worth. I can't they if they're just bypassing me for their best customers or what. They say they're not but how would I know? I'm a first time customer.

If you put a deposit down through a boutique I don’t think they are bypassing you. I’d give them the benefit of the doubt. VC doesn’t make many watches in total across all their models so they are probably trying their best to honor commitments and just don’t have a more definitive ETA.

If you put a deposit down you should have the watch within 12 months of the time of the time of the deposit. When did you put your deposit down?

Yes you're probably right. I completely understand the crazy imbalance of supply and demand right now everywhere in the world. As long as I receive the darker looking dial I'll be happy. This is a grail piece for me so I wouldn't want to settle. It's to wear every week, not for flipping so secondary value does nothing for me.

Hope you are waiting for a dual time, because the three handed had that sunburst dial since at least 2019 when I got mine.

I had the opportunity when it was first released but the pink gold was a bit loud for my personal taste. I recently expressed interest for the white gold (fingers crossed).

I simply wanted to share the beauty. It truly is a stunning watch irl.

Guys! I just saw the three hands blue asking price about 40k€ in Europe. And there is only few who is selling it. It’s almost 100% over retail price. This development is only sense beginning of this year.

What do you guy think about the VC future? Do we think we will be the same level as PP and AP
