I know Daytona c and BLRO are probably top pair but what about these two?

I see you're a big fan of superheroes? So am I, in this definition! These are right up there with the Daytona and BLRO too imo. Very nice duo!

Beautiful! V & C ( now just "V.C") make some of my favorite watches. Been a fan ever since I tried on, Yes actually wore, a Kalista back in the 80's.

Very impressive Trio sir!

Holy grail pair in current Rolex SS lineup - definitely the hardest pair to buy at MSRP. You must have waited 100 years (lol). Super nice trio including that amazing overseas chrono (my favorite Chrono by the way).

I also like the VCO Gen3, although I know that is controversial thing to say around these parts. That VC is 41, but somewhat appears smaller than the Daytona 500c.

^ Is that VC reverse Panda yours?? It’s an amazing watch. I saw one of the first ones ever being made in the VC manufacturing facility about 1 month before the public knew of the watch. It was the only watch at the time that they wouldn’t allow me to take a photo of. It is so beautiful...

I wish - no I tried it on at the Boutique in South Coast Plaza

Comes with bracelet, leather strap with deployment buckle and rubber strap. Pure class, but pretty steep $29k for SS chrono

Quick release makes bracelet change super easy. Really wish I could justify this one. They said they could discount, but I didn’t want to low ball them with what I felt it would have to be for me to own it.

If you zoom in on these pics, you will see this one is completely shrink wrapped in plastic

I love the Overseas. I was sooo close to getting one back in May. I decided on the 126660 instead. It was an extremely tough decision though.

You’re right Mark. If they priced these around 17k they would sell every one they manufactured. I was so close to buying one from the boutique in Beverly Hills, but It was between this and the 126660. I went with the Rolex because of the history and the upgrades they made from the 116660. 6 months later and I don’t regret my decision. I still love the VCO. Sad they are just about 10-12k over priced.



Here’s the one I almost bought. The sales professional was extremely warm and helpful. And like the one in your pics, it was wrapped in plastic as well

My pair, both complete opposites, both as robust as each other. Love them both, for very different reasons

Nice pair! I have the same two pieces for the same reason. Both compliment and contrast each other in different ways.

Have these two myself and like them very much. So glad I bought them before they became the hyped darlings they are now.

I think the 116500 white with the new gmt checks all the boxes and functionality for the ultimate SS pair. Black, white, red, and blue, chronograph, date, and gmt. I’m halfway there.
