I personally don't love the Rolex GMTs...I have a few don't get me wrong lol...but I find the subs just feel better on my wrist.

The VC is 10x better all around

Sorry guys Rolex lovers

I have many Rolexs, but between the two Overseas and GMT/sub looks Rolex like a Oris!

Sorry guys again

Wish there was a chance to actually get the 222, but will be harder than any Rolex or even the Everest I believe!

Not according to the leak. Search for “Vacheron” on this page and you’ll find all the new announcements for tomorrow.

I believe you as the Everest editions were also sold out to VIPs before the release was made public, but if the 222s are also sold out before release it would still be quite a disappointment.

100%

But the 222 would be great push for the brand. Keen to see the Overseas Skeletons.

The problem is that it feels that the same "collectors" are getting all the watches. Every watch is now "a reward to the VIPs". At VC and other brands as well. Not sure how we mere mortals are supposed to participate. I got a VC DT before the hype, just by emailing the boutique, now even though they know I can't even get myself on any list.

Trust me a lot of VC collectors are furious about missing out on some allocations.

But at the same time a lot of collectors are ordering les cabinotiers pieces and have moved of the standard retail collection / designs. The wait list for this service multi year but worth it, some of the requests will produce amazing pieces that hardly anyone will know about and even less will see.

Basically if you're not a 1/2 or 1 percenter you probably don't have a chance.

What I'm most excited about is that the titanium bracelet will also fit my Cory Richards...I really that only affects a small number of owners but for me it's huge!

Can't wait to get it...I think it looks incredible.

I’m excited that more brands are embracing titanium. I’ve been buying titanium watches since my Swiss Army days and don’t plan to stop anytime soon.

Aren't we all? Considering buying $60k watches you'd have to be...
It's actually much more exclusive than that

I'd hope anyone buying $60k watch is at least a 1% but these guys buying all the tourbillon LE, new watch every month multiple complication are in the 0.01%. I'm happy they share with us to see.
