The 222 is an EPIC piece. Congrats and wear it in good health! The brushed YG looks incredible and the bracelet is really special.

Honestly, 222 does not appeal to me. But hey different strokes. Tough watch to source no doubt, congrats. It would be boring if we all had the same taste!

Really like how it goes from dark (almost black) to that brilliant blue depending on lighting.

Anyone here has a TSO in titanium? Can you provide some feedback on the skeleton work? Are the interior angles and anglage clean? The pictures look reasonably good and looks more "natural" than an Openwork AP. But would like some opinions IRL.

Really enjoy this on olive - and currently waiting on brown, white and red Vagenari straps to deliver. I don’t believe I have seen the black dial on brown, but I think it will be a nice combo.

Wow, that looks so good! Love that color combination. I need to pick up the exact one for myself. Did you order it from the VC boutique?

I never knew they do overseas strap! It's not on their website. Are they more expensive than ordering VC's stock?

Got allocated a 4300V/120G-B945 after 3 weeks of requesting for it from the Hong Kong boutique.

No purchase history... but have some other watches (AP and JLCs)

What a weird world we live in now.

I just got a call from my boutique for a 4000V/210A-B911. I said no, not on my list, but I was surprised it was so easily available.

Every brand needs a quick strap change system…

I may never buy another piece without it!
