Can share the retail price here?

I think the bracelet is amazing. I'm more inclined to chrono model.

Price range slightly more than AP model to model

Design wise it's softer at the edges, AP is sharp and distinct

I prefer the older model with big date.

The bracelet is very nice though, probably on par with AP bracelets

It is an often overlooked watch from the Holy trinity of watches. I think it is a handsome watch but i prefer the chronograph version from this series. Not a fan of the date at 4 o'clock. I think it is worth a look since prices of Rolex is so high now. There is still a bargain to be had with this brand with prices for this particular model ranging from the low 30k-s to low 40k-s depending on dial color, condition and completeness of set.
Your ONLY job in this world is to make sure that you are happy

I am quite curious on one thing. I looked up "holy trinity of watches" and brands that commonly pop up include Patek, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron. The reason for this is a Geneva Seal on the movement? Now looking at holy trinity, I would think prices would be high for models from these brands but it seems that Vacheron is not doing too well in the pre-owned market compared to Patek and AP. The retail price however is pretty high. Am I missing something here? Why is Vacheron not performing as well as the other two? Lack of demand? The design for the VC is really nice with sharp angles on the case and the mix of brushed and polished steel. If prices in the pre-owned market are as indicated by bro G.Mac, then we have a strong contender here for a sports watch compared to offerings from Rolex.

What's really interesting is that ROLEX is nowhere near the holy trinity at all but look at how they are selling..

As for as I concerned, VC is very famous at China, Hong Kong and some of the western countries, but not doing well here in Malaysia, I can hardly find any AD/Boutique. Try and ask some of the watch guys from China and Hong Kong, no one don't know VC Oversea (Jiang Shi Dan Dun,  Zong Heng Si Hai), you literally paid for one watch and it come with three style/mode, worth every penny.

VC is popular in China and Hong Kong, seems to do with fengshui reason. The ship logo on case back symbolises good fortune ahead.  :thumbsup:
