nice vacheron, mid 1940s and dont look dated at all, impressive.
My grandfather was given a Vacheron by a company he worked for in the 50’s or 60’s, and it was the most beautiful thing to behold; even as a child who didn’t know a thing about watches, I couldn’t keep myself from sneaking a look inside the box it was kept in whenever I got the chance. Many Vacheron Constantin watches have that same allure for me still, both new and vintage.
The bracelet alone is amazing. The fact that it is a VC (also my favorite of the big three) and over 7 decades old and still ticking makes it even better. Wear it, love it. Amazing find and purchase.
Cries out for a leather strap. It would solve the ugly spring bar problem, and would look SO. MUCH. BETTER.
Ino i think a brown strap would look lovely
I’m really happy for you Jory! It’s great to see so much appreciation for an incredible vintage piece.
Omg totally agreed! VC is it! Ask a master watchmaker, they all agree, the quality of VC kills the others. My grail.
Looks great on the original bracelet...idk why watch nerds get a hard throwing vintage watches on leather straps...nothing against leather for dressier occasions but vintage watches on their original metal bracelets or period correct metal bracelets not including most of those stretch bracelets though...no reason to get all bent outta shape over 1mm of springbar showing smh the watch looks infinitely more charming and special on its original hardware in this case in my opinion and 99% of the the world wont notice those 1mm of springbars showing
Amen!!
Hi Jory, can you recommend a watch to wear while watching television? Thanks in advance! - Warpo
Seiko TV watch obviously.
warpo007 Patek television screen 😂
People's concerns of size(vintage) are overblown, your 35mm on your big wrist looks just right. May your infectious happiness for the beautiful acquisition of the grandest vintage watch geek dreams spead throughout the world!
I bought a 38mm 18k VC for $3200 during the pandemic. It was advised to me a month ago that it's a $15-$20k peice. I pretty much hit the lottery in watches.
Stunning, gorgeous watch. It wears a lot bigger than 35mm on the bracelet. I have to agree about the gold/black dial combo, I was lucky enough to find a gold filled King Seiko wit( black dial, not solid gold but has aged well, I love wearing that. It makes me look classy.
I never understood why AP was part of the holy trinity, especially when their only relevant contribution to watchmaking is the Royal Oak. Why isn’t Jaeger part of the trinity instead? Especially when they have powered all three and make some of the most precise and intricate watches?
Or A. Lange?
AP is fucking overrated.
Bro, could have saved a couple grand by going with a Vostok.
Great video, Jory and a beautiful watch. I totally get that sense of romance and charm attached to owning something that has passed through time while keeping time for those who wore it over the decades. So cool.
This watch has truly aged wonderfully, timeless piece.
Congrats! My grail brand is JLC, I'd like it as a hand-wind in a sub 35mm pink or rose gold case. Working my way up to one.
It’s got a very classic, timeless and well proportioned dial design. Similar faceted hour indices were also used by PP (Calatrava) IWC and others. Beautiful watch, Jory.
AP doesn't deserve to be 1 of the 3. A. Lange is part of the 3 from now on, not AP.
Buddy you’re mispronouncing VC. 🤔. Should sound like “constantan”. Not “constantine”
He could pronounce it correctly because he has Sprachgefühl ...
Love that dial, would you consider having it opened up to clean the indices?
Congratulations on your newest acquisition! I have a VC of similar design. Nobody I've gone to has ever been able to date it.
Congratulations. I agree with you that the Overseas has definitely been overlooked. The watch that got me into chronographs was the Zenith El Primero.
If I had the money for serious luxury watches, I'm going Lange & Söhne every day
I love my Lange & Söhne
I think if we had Lange money, we would probably own a VC as well.
My exact "when I make it" plan: Buy big three flagships, and THEN a Lange... Then a hell lot of Seikos to wear daily... LOL!
The more vintage watches I see, the less I like them 😫. Id rather buy a new watch and have it become vintage with MY stories attached to it. Previous owner may have been a complete tool for all you know 🤣
I love your Vacheron, Jory.
My favorite Holy Trinity brand is Patek just because of the Calatrava and the 5146
I'm happy for and glad you dig it but I got to say i'm not feeling this one. Enjoy it though, we all have different tastes.
Congrats on your VC, Jory! On the endlink subject, Rolex used to make the Datejust in solid gold back in the 40s, and it had straight endlinks. Let’s compare vintage pieces to watches from their own age group.
As for Trinity companies, VC for the Overseas, and Patek for dress watches.
Next steps:
1-Patek
2-Lange
3-Credor
If buying Patek, I'd suggest go with the Aquanaut. Nautilus is just overpriced for what you can get. 3x the steel version price for noble metals is just too much, even if you have the funds. Might as well buy an Aquanaut AND another Big Three watch. Lol!
It’s not Constanteen,it’s Constantan.
It’s mine.
@@thetimeteller You tell em' Jory! Cool classic watch.
@@thetimeteller If you love the brand so much though it would be nice to pronounce it correctly?
I am a native (American) English speaker and perhaps pronounce things differently than a native French speaker would.
This is no different than a native Frenchman saying the words “hamburger, or Ford”- I wouldn’t correct them just because they have an accent.
These RUclipsrs all seem to resent having their pronunciation corrected, no matter how ridiculous it is. It may be a generational thing having to do with their education.
I agree VC makes some of the nicest looking watches. I’d take a overseas over any Rolex!
Nice find! Perhaps make a video about how you source these watches?
I love Vacheron Constantin. I love that watch and I'm just seeing it for the first time. Great find! My grail watch is an American 1921 Historiques -- any metal :)
I owned a 2nd generation Overseas and it is the only watch I have ever regretted parting ways with. As you stated, it is a bit of an underdog, but only because it is not spoken of as much as the other trinity sport watches.
Great watch man! I hope you continue to love and enjoy it!
Congratulations on the acquisition of the vintage VC. Beautiful piece. 👍🏼
We should be referring to the holy *quaternity* because A. Lange & Söhne exist. Who cares if it's German? It's top tier watchmaking as well.
If you want a great value overseas, look for the 38mm VC 42040 overseas salmon dial in stainless steel made in the early 20s, chronometer spec with a GP ultrathin movement. They pop up once in a while for sale and are very very much under the radar.
Dig the VC Daddy-O , I am currently wearing a 1950's Roamer , gold with black dial with green numbers and hands 33 mm's , I love it !
It's a great looker, Jory. I like the bracelet fine the way it is and black and gold dial will always look classic. Wear in good health.
Looks bigger on the wrist than I thought it would I'd be very happy to have a piece like that one of my grail watch an a fan of the Overseas also does more for me than the A.P. P.P. sports watches but yea like one of those also .😁
Quit trying to downplay how old your watch is, Jory. 2019-1945 is more than 71, it’s okay to admit it. :)
Hahahaha I only realized I misspoke once I reviewed the edit draft. Oh well, I make mistakes! 😂🤷🏻♂️
maths are hard
I totally agree on dark dials and yellow gold. Great combo! Nice pick up Jory, enjoy man
0:33 I think there is a piece of fiber being pushed along by the small second hand.
The watch is 75 years old... so... yeah.
Love the small seconds design ascetic too. It’s one of the reasons the Seiko 6139 is such a favorite of mine, perhaps you too. It’s a similar grammar.
A beautiful watch ,but it wears more like a 37 or 38 mm .
I have my Dads 1950s VC its just been serviced and The watchmaker raved about the finish of the movement a 454 5b apparently! keeps excellent time!
Absolutely gorgeous watch, a true classic. Welcome to the holly trinity my friend..
Nice pairing with the Montblanc
Nice VC! Congrats and enjoy it. Totally agree with you on all your points, including VC over AP and PP.
Holy Trinity aren’t my favorites. I like Lange, Breguet and JLC for higher end pieces. Congratulations on your find👍🏽
same here! JLC especially!
Congratulations! Beautiful watch. Beautiful bracelet. Enjoy it in good health.
Great watch 👍just 34mm I’m not sure if it’s too small on the wrist.
Those overseas are beautiful, not into vintage watches, not talking about a few years old and pre-owned, still love watching these video's even though I couldn't afford it.
Very nice! Always prefer VC out of the three, they deserve more attention.
You did very well finding this one. Thanks!
Congrats VC it’s my dream watch
Black disks and gold, kind of a “gilty “ pleasure
Jon I see what you did there
Timeless. Congratulations on this classic beauty
I got to see a used Vacheron Constantin Overseas at my AD. Great price, but I was somewhat underwhelmed. If I had more variety of that watch to look at I think I’d find something I liked. I still liked it better than a Patek Nautilus. The Royal Oak offshore may be better.
Whats the name of the bracelet on your watch
Vacheron Constantin is the best of the holy Trinity IMO. I would sale a Nautilus is given one, and buy 2 overseas and a FIFTYSIX.
Beautiful VC. Enjoy in good health.
Amazing, i thought it was modern watch for a minute. Super impressive and beautiful looking watch - congrats.
I love the watch Jory, how much did you get it for? Unless I missed that in the video
Nice what, needs a good leather strap.
Beautiful watch, Jory. T3 is now a member of the holy 3!
Jory!!! You kill everything! Rocking it to the world. I'm still looking for a made in 69 on your store..38 or 39 if you can find one would be great instead! Still loving your channel
Beautiful watch! Congratulations! Just a bit jealous lol
Invicta has a great lineup this year!
Jory is asking for sponsoring his channel, then goes and grabs some luxury and high-end timepieces. Awesome business model ☺.
Beautiful watch. Congratulations!
I have a hand-wound VC Patrimony. Keeps better time than my Patek, Rolex, Omega... The only watch in my collection that keeps up is my quartz Tissot. Lol! So it's not in the price folks...
Very nice watch, enjoy it!
Absolutely gorgeous.
Very cool stunning piece you got there my friend, I'm also into vintage pieces my self, have you ever check the 1940 Gruen Curvex, love the thick glass very impressive in my opinion,let me know what you think.. 👍👍also I have 1940 Britix chronograph, the patina is very impressive run perfectly condition..for being a 1940 you get it..
Great watch for your GF/wife, if they enjoy the vintage aspect.
Congrats!
Gorgeous watch! What about THIS WATCH?😇
Did a ray of sunshine ☀️ and doves 🕊 appear when you took possession?
You pronounced VC wrongly man...😂
Congratulations on getting one of your grail watches. Beautiful, likely with a long story. Can you research this in some way?
I really want a 60s Hamilton Thin-line or Thin-O-Matic
Gorgeous watch!
Cool watch a great find enjoy.
Would look perfect on Connie
Well done sir!
Well done! Bravo
Very cool!
It seems like VC is a little more obtainable....
At least the Holy Trinity watches are real.
Boom!
Congrats. Absolutely gorgeous. Right up my street 😁👍
Lovely watch.
Richemont are the value destroyers of good watch brands. That's why there underdogs. There tainted and therefore dump money like an old geezer in Thailand.
Man that's a really lovely women's watch bro,congrats,lol
Have seen watches labeled "Vacheron Constantin" and "Vacheron & Constantin," which I find odd. Is the latter legit?
“Vacheron & Constantin” is how it was originally labeled. “Vacheron Constantin” is a modern iteration.
@@thetimeteller Vielen Dank!
T3-Trinity... well that say it all
Beautiful, classy!
Im sensing a bit of 555gear in that intro.
Lovely.
I don’t like it at all, don’t know which one is worst that or the skx. This brand doesn’t deserve to be on the holy trinity. But looks good though l.
Okay Mr. Watch master.
FYI Nepolean Bonaparte used VC for his own use.
The biggest emperor of Europe chose VC over any other brand. I guess, your opinion doesn't matter.
