Vacheron Constantin Celebrates With the Friends of the Paris Opera and Ballet
On Saturday, November 20, Paris' Palais Garnier played host to Vacheron Constantin as well as hundreds of the Manufacture's guests for the much-anticipated 30th anniversary celebration of the AROP (Friends of the Paris Opera and Ballet). Presiding over the occasion were Jean-Louis Beffa, President of the AROP, Nicolas Joel, Director of the National Opera of Paris, and Brigitte Lef��vre, Director of Dance. Vacheron Constantin was represented by CEO Juan-Carlos Torres, Marc Guten, the International Director, and Jean-Yves di Martino, the Director of France for the manufacture. Guests had the opportunity to admire the Vacheron Constantin watch “M��tiers d'Art �C Chagall et l'Op��ra Garnier” manufactured specifically for this event to celebrate the anniversary. The dial of this unique timepiece reproduces in remarkable detail and quality the famous ceiling of the Opera painted by Marc Chagall.

Rubberclad or Diver?
So I've decided to venture into the world of AP, but I'm torn on my first purchase.. Either a diver or the non-updated white dial rubber clad.Anyone want to help me sway one way or the other?

Thinking of adding a Radiomir (PAM388): Legit Check
Thinking of adding a silver case Rad to compliment my ceramic 384. I want something sub $5k as more of an everyday watch. This 388 caught my eye and I may try and make a deal.

Want to go Rad instead of a Luminor since I already have a pretty robust strap collection.
