VC watch ?

[WSSS]

How would you place the Independents?

bros here have already mentioned the 3 kings....you can say VC is the old emperor, PP is the king, and AP is the crown prince.

to me(and thats just me), i feel every collection shld have the 3 kings' gentlemen's watch range. beyond that, he shld also collect their sports range, nautilus, overseas and royal oak.

then rolexes and panerais.

then IWCs and JLCs

then german watches GOs and langes.

then the fashion ones like U boat, BnR

I like your collecting focus

However, the Independents are really quite worth a look too, especially those that don't cost a bomb, like Sarpaneva http://www.sarpanevawatches.com/pages/home/. The Korona cost about the same as a SS Daytona at list price.

VC has been under-rated for many years. They lack a strong marketing line to compete with PP but their workmanship is just as good as PP's, especially in the area of enameling and engraving, as well as novelties.

I am staying focussed on Rolex. My nice to have list:

Day-date II white gold, with fluted bezel, 41mm
Day-date II rose gold, with fluted bezel, 41mm
Daytona SS, black face, 40mm
GMT II Ceramic, SS, 40mm

No VC and Pee Pee.
