    Three main problems for me:

    1. 37mm is a bit too small for this style, at least for me.
    2. No seconds hand.
    3. $32,000 for a very simple steel watch. Around twice the original price of the Overseas when it came out.

    I kinda digged (dug?) the gold one. Sort of retro cool.

    This is just whack, though I'm not sure why. Probably because it's actually kinda ugly, and hella expensive

    Case to bracelet width ratio makes it look more like a bracelet that tells time than a watch on a bracelet. No thank you.

    Also, the Vacheron logo in the case…yikes.

    I totally agree.

    Wow, some of these companies are getting very ambitious with their pricing, glad I've sampled pretty much all that I want/wanted, sigh . . .

    My thoughts exactly (he says, looking fondly at his Overseas that was purchased below list by walking into an AD with whom he had never done business previously).

    It will sell out. Premium things pretty much always do, even post bubble.

    Whenever I make proclomations that I'm going to be a cranky old man when I get old, the wife typically counters with "Going to be?" or "Too late." She doesn't specify if I'm already old, already cranky or both.
    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    I feel, by a certain age (which I have reached), one has a god-given right to be cranky. Not to mention cantankerous. And curmudgeonly.
