You’d have to have balls (or ovaries) of granite to wear this publicly in London! But safety aside this is the most blingy watch I’ve seen that manages to be genuinely beautiful, elegant and classy. If they launch a steel version I think it might be even nicer than the Royal Oak. I’m pleased for Vacheron Constantin. This is rightly getting enormous attention and appreciation from loads of watch channels

@r2l100 I travel to London from my home country to sell luxury watches to grey market dealers quite frequently. I observe my surroundings like an eagle everytime I'm present. I have a VC chrono, a Royal Oak, a Daytona and a Speedy in my collection and I have never dared to take a single one with me to London. I usually wear a Seiko diver or a Frederic Constant at most because I can afford to lose those. Do not draw attention to yourself though, the city is packed with knife-wielding degenerates who will rob you of even a 1k watch. If you insist, then you should at least not venture outside of West-Central London but that's only my advice.
@marcelo14582 жыл бұрын
@r2l100 You were playing with fire, especially with a Rolex. I personally don't think you need to get rid of your best watches because of these bums but avoid wearing them on public transport or in dodgy areas and never wear any bracelet other than stainless steel or leather. But follow your gut instinct in whatever decision you make about your watches. Wish you well mate!

Also, the simple Maltese cross in the bottom corner is cool and that motif is not overdone like it is all around the watch and bracelet like it is on the Overseas.
