So I went to the AD.......

In the hopes that he still had a white faces turnograph is stock (he did in the summer), as it was my last hope to find a white faced rolex I actually liked, or a new bluefaced Yacthy (as I had tried one on elsewhere and loved it). So I went to my normal AD in the hopes that he had something I liked. I have been really in the mood for a Vacheron lately (I really only like the discontinued ones anyway).

So anyhow, he had a turno in white, but not the platty. He was having trouble finding the turno, and said, "ah, this is the watch you want, not the turnograph"

okay, so????

He opens the little clear box, and produces this:

thanks guys! I had actually never seen one before, but once i put it on, I couldnt take my eyes off it! Some how the white is not the same white as on a turno, and the roman numeral blew the sticks away. And I cant get over how light it is compared to the sub or ttdjii. Merry Christmas to me! And Merry Christmas to all of you too!
