I am not seeing any on the secondary market, which leads me to believe they are still desirable. Does anyone know if VC has any left, and what it might take to get one allocated?
I like boring watches, I guess 😊.
500 word post requirement: My first watch, which I no longer have, was an Explorer 36. I'd love to add one to the current collection, but I'm not sure what I'd remove to make room. I like wearing both the Air King and the Railmaster more than the Explorer.
The Railmaster was the real surprise in the current collection. It has become the daily wear, mostly because of the bracelet. Having owned a couple teak-dial Aquaterras in the past, my impression had been that Omega didn't make great bracelets, but this president's bracelet is fantastic.
The Christopher Ward 660 is one the best executed watches in terms of concept, in my opinion. I'd love more brands to make an ultrathin integrated bracelet.
The most recent watch released from.the collection is a VC Fiftysix complete calendar in steel. That was a great watch, but I had worn it enough and wanted to try some other things. I had previously owned the 3-hand Fiftysix, and if I were to rebuy one, it would be the three-hand version. That watch is the best Cartier currently made 🤣.
Watches that I've owned and miss include the VC Fiftysix, the current Explorer in both 36 and 40mm sizes, a Ming Monolith, and a Mark XX. I've had a bunch that I don't miss, of course. I'll probably pick up a Mark XX at the airport someday when boredom takes over in the terminal. That's how the Railmaster acquisition happened 😅.
