First Vacheron
Just picked up my first Vacheron and wanted to post some pics. I'm more of a white metals guy, but figured this would make the collection a bit more dynamic. its a VC les historiques chrono, ref. 47101. I love the movement, and it wears comfortably under a cuff. It also feels bigger than its 37mm size.

What a watch,

Great find, I've been looking for that exact model myself, I love that era of Vacheron, some amazing deals to be had.

Enjoy it,

PS shoot me a PM if you ever feel like parting with it.

Beautiful piece, certainly as visually appealing as a PP 5170J IMO.

Congratulations
