Looking for a classy simple watch.
The VC has higher MSRP for 34k but should have higher margin comparing to 5296.
Let me know your thoughts! Any opinion would be very appreciated.

The Vc is cool but I'll go patek

GB-man · 18 July 2017, 02:22 PM

I adore the 1921. It's on my list for sure. Buy it pre owned and save a bundle.

Flex368 · 18 July 2017, 02:51 PM

I like the VC but still choose the Patek.

Tony64 · 18 July 2017, 03:06 PM

Of these I'd go with the Vacheron, but mostly because the sector dial doesn't appeal to me at all.

daveyw · 18 July 2017, 04:29 PM

5296r non sector dial is pure class

lapince · 18 July 2017, 07:34 PM

On this one the VC, but buy preowned, let the first owner take the bath, not you

adnjoo · 18 July 2017, 07:45 PM

Depends on your collection, if you have 10 Pateks already I'd possibly go with the Historique American.

If not then I'd go with 5296R-001 Patek.

HL65 · 18 July 2017, 07:51 PM

I would take the VC over this Patek for sure as it is a much better and cooler looking watch.

AK797 · 18 July 2017, 10:39 PM

Not a fan of the "protractor" dial, so VC and regular massages for me.

GB-man · 18 July 2017, 11:26 PM

This thread has me thinking...I hope VC makes a steel 1921 with black dial. I'd be over the moon.

codecow · 18 July 2017, 11:54 PM

The 1921 is one of my favorite watches, but at $34k it is hard to justify. If you can get a good deal on it I'd go for that for sure.

JorgeCCW · 18 July 2017, 11:57 PM

VC is cooler , but like everyone said VC goes down like the Titanic, so buy smart

That's one of the few VCs that I really like, so that would be my choice

ray0750 · 19 July 2017, 11:16 AM

So what would be the reasonable price for the VC?

I agree, the VC is easily the pic between these two watches.

I would feel comfortable with a pre-own for 20k, but realistically I seen it for 23k-24k. That's the problem with these brands; you really have to love it and be prepared to lose money if you have to sell .

I am no VC expert , but that's what I see. The only VC I had owned (twice) is the overseas Chrono , at the time retail was 21k and sold for 12k. So close to half of the value .

Hope it helps

VC for sure in this case. Love the case design.

Allanmodel · 19 July 2017, 03:51 PM

5296 looks good~~

cwilson13 · 19 July 2017, 11:54 PM

VC 1921 (off the secondary market).

I agree 100%
I don't like sector dial. Preowned VC can be had for 30% less. I love the 1921. Unique.

VC out of these two.

Peterandwatches · 20 July 2017, 09:01 AM

Not big on the sector, would go VC here. But at this price range, I'd serioulsy looking at Lange.
