Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Boutique New York Watch
This is how Vacheron Constantin does America. Interestingly enough the prestigious Swiss watch brand has America to thank to a large degree for its success today. About 100 years ago the brand was doing very well here in the US and if you visit Vacheron Constantin's website there is a history section that discusses this. Recently VC opened up its first US boutique store in New York City.Where? Just look on the back of the watch and you'll find engraved "Madison and 64 th." It should be spelled "64th," but hey, these are watch makers not map makers. Though I would personally would have redone the only 20 casebacks in the CNC machines. They are just steel right?As I just mentioned, these watches will be limited to 20 pieces only and available exclusively in the brand's new New York store. What happens if the boutique changes its location years from now? If that is the case then I think the watch will become even more of a collectible. It is almost amusing how the text on the back is vagu

Omega Apollo XVII 40th anniversary in the flesh
I was at the Omega boutique today snooping around (with Snoopy on my wirst) and the sales woman noticed it and asked if I'd like to see one of their newest Limited Edition Speedies. I said sure, being a Speedie nut, and it happened to be the Apollo XVII 40th Anniversary Speedy. Now I hated the look of this watch in photos and most of the people on TRF have also said it's quite ugly, so I was a little surprised to find that it looked a little bit better in the flesh. Don't get me wrong, it's not gorgeous and I wouldn't sell a limb for it but I experienced a solid 10 minute internal monologue where I tried to figure out whether it was alright or if I was losing my mind. Then my wife walked in and out came the following Hey, that's a pretty distinctive looking watch but how do you tell the time at all?!So yeah my wife thought it looked cool, and I'm still on the fence about its looks. What does everyone else think? Sorry for the bad photos was in a bit of a hurry after the monologue ;).

New Speedmaster Professional for $2300?
Hey all, I'm looking to buy myself a speedmaster as a Christmas present (buying myself Christmas presents makes me sound like a tool, but I'm not �C you understand). I was originally looking at used models, but I would get a new one if the price difference was reasonable. I'm in the military and through some wheeling / dealing, and strategic use of online coupon codes and opening store credit cards, I can get a new Speedmaster Professional for about $2300. To me that sounds like a great deal! However, I've never bought a watch new and am by no means a pricing expert. Is this as good of a deal as it sounds like or really nothing out of the ordinary? Thanks and happy holidays!-Scott

Incoming 5164 r
Having owned the 5164/1a, I was devastated when I had to flip. Fast forward to 2018, I had a chance to get the Rose gold version and I could not be happier!The rg really pops and is blingy without being to blingy (know what I mean).The collection has changed so much but Oh well.
