The 2460 calibre direly needs a revamp. It's holding back the brands automatic movement severely, just look at its back side, the small movement looks comical in proportion. Other than that, it's an absolute beauty and almost made the outdated calibre a non-problem

Not sure comical is a good description. It doesn't completely fill the case back.

Anyone have any thoughts around the 4600v in Steel?

Love the orange gator pairing!

Did you get a custom engraving on the underside of your strap? All of them?

Looks fantastic and a way better option than the quartz.

That's my point, the movement is too small for the case size.
They probably just took the same 4500 case, slap the small 2460in and fill the space with more steel. The texts and model number around doesn't even touch the calibre, what's with the empty space in between? This is seriously lazy and not something that should be defended

I actually agree here. The movement does not look properly sized to the case. Not sure what went wrong here.

It's terrible.

VC honestly lost what was good about the brand by doing this..

You guys are what's comical. It's a fine watch.

The absolutely incredible totally better than overseas Royal Oak 15400



And of course the $100K+ nautilus



And the "comical" new retro moon overseas

It’s a stunning watch! People love to hate on VC when comparing to the other holy trinity.

So I tried it on at watches and wonders. It’s really nice in person and a nice broadening of the OVS line. Same gorgeous blue dial with a touch of class.

I think this is home run! Would love to add this. Anyone know what it retails for?

No need to be so rude bro?
It's a fine watch and I even said its an absolute beauty but does that mean it doesn't have flaws? Pretty disappointing you have to resort to personal attack but whatever floats your boat

Not a personal attack.

You said it was comical and lazy. I said you were being comical.

Big deal.

Congrats!!! One of my favorite versions. The DT’s splash of red against the black just looks great.

Anyone know how long the wait is for the new panda 5500V chronograph?

Also in general, what is the wait time like between chrono, standard models, and dual times?

If you’re not an existing customer, you’re unlikely to get one.
If you are, I’d expect to wait around 12 months.

A stealthy drop today by VC.

Absolutely stunning.





Looks familiar.
