Will pair amazingly well with my platinum CDV and platinum 1921. Can’t wait!

Agreed my friend. I believe it will pair nicely with those. Looking forward to growing my VC collection this year also including this one. Beautiful release. Thanks for sharing content everyone.

Wish it had the steel-coloured dial.

I've got two watches from them, my store says Vc doesn't play games and I will get mine eventually, but there's close to no hope of getting it this year. Guess the wait list is pretty mad |

No actually. I have bought zero. I spoke to the the SA over the phone today. We met a few times previously and attended a VC event following an invitation. He said they have a display piece at the boutique which I am going to view next week after work commitment and then first piece may arrive late march/early April. He will see what he can do in terms of allocation for this year. So we will see whether things come through. If not I am more than happy to allow the VIPs to get them first and wait for my turn. There is no rush from my side. But overall response seems pretty cordial and optimistic

Should be priced at 30k USD including taxes max. I see VC is riding the wave, good for them!

I saw this and appreciate the looks and the retro vibe of the watch. For me it is to small, movement not to specs for such an expensive watch, water resistance not there and the integrated bracelet will be a nightmare to fit and wear comfortably. And most importantly, too expensive for what it is for me.

My SA is in Geneva and he just “surprised” me and told me he already have me down for one before me asking. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh soon. |

Nice to see they released it in steel. Interestingly priced the same as APs Jumbo.
Maybe the minority here, but I wished they made the dial in charcoal/grey and kept it monochrome like the gold version. |

Fully agree. I’d be knocking down the door of the local VC boutique.

I quite like the blue, but it does seem like a missed opportunity to go with the grey, which is historically relevant for the 222 and would have set it even further apart from the Nautilus and RO. You're right, it would have made a killer (and coherent) pair with the YG. Anyway, if I had the means, my name would already be down for the blue. Who knows.................maybe they are reserving the grey for a square 222 in a couple of years? |

Both remakes suffer from the changed position of the date window. Maybe a Richemont thing as it reminds me of the poor date positioning on the IWC Mark XVIII (and even XX) vs the Mark XII and XV. Even if the date was positioned the same I'd still prefer the OG 222 for the movement alone. |

They have other watches I prefer. I’m sure plenty of takers.

This looks awesome to me. I've registered my interest and contacted the boutique. Pricing here makes sense especially as it's still cheaper than the AP RO Jumbo Extra Thing and funny enough the VC is thinner as well.
The pricing is also easier to stomach than the $74k for the gold version. |

Same here, want one! So much prettier (to me) than a Nautilus and a perfect complement to my 16202. Just pinged my SA. Let's see how long this will take.
I love the yellow gold one when they offered it to me but couldn't pull of the color. The only minor "downside" is the dial color - I already have way too many blue dials. But it looks like a pretty dark hue. |
