Well, I've had a number of Pateks and Audemars' through my hands of late but it has been some time since a Vacheron sat on my wrist. This has now been corrected smile
I was browsing ebay and came across this - I was round the corner from Bond St, where it was being sold, this morning, so grabbed it.

It's a '333', which followed the '222' and evolved into the Overseas. It was designed by Gerald Genta and features an ultra thin automatic movement, and is steel with a healthy smattering of solid 18kt.



Pic from the ebay ad, and it does not do it justice. The thing is like new.

And the best bit?

£600.

I love unfashionable watches. I can also wear it anywhere, as most will think it's a Longines or the like.

Did I mention I'm a bit happy with it? smile

You fecker - that's a serious bit of kit for not much outlay.

Chuffed for you.

Thanks Don thumbup

Only problem is, now I've blabbed about it, I'm going to have to be reasonable if I ever flip it on here.

You know me.

Watch this space.

I appreciate the watch as a time piece, but its no great looker. Maybe pics don't do it justice good price though, glad you got it.
