After just a few days with my VC (aside from keeping a watch for the beach/vacations/pool and of course a G-shock for yard work) I can't see myself ever going back. Nothing I've had in the past or currently wears, feels, or gives me a sense of "wow" like this does. And one of the great parts about it for me is no one in my circle, personal or professional, has any clue what it is. I’ve heard plenty about the Rolex watches I wear from people at work. My older neighbor calls me “Rolex Boy”. How refreshing that no one pays any attention to a Vacheron.
Maybe I'll try to add a vintage sub with some crazy character that’s so unpolished it looks like a beat up Seiko with fire orange markers down the road to get back to what really got me into this hobby. Maybe a Lange once I'm at a point in life where I can stomach the price because they are just beautiful (though at this stage I'm not much of a PM/dressier watch kind guy). But for the next long while, I am so happy with the choices I've made to get here.
You can definitely be a one watch (OK maybe 2 watch) guy.
