VC 1921?

[Lirik]

Hi,

I really fell in love with the 1921 from Vacheron.
I read that the reps of this model are not very good, but I have trouble finding any at all.

I cant seem to find any replica to this model on the TD's websites.

Does anyone know where I can get this watch? Or anyone who owns one?

I hope you can help me out.


Thanks in advance!

Puretime actually has a bunch of different models -- mostly cheapo 23 jewel ones, but a good starting point ...

one of my favorites as well. I'd be curious if a decent rep could be done. It's definitely a model on my list of "will own someday"

I don't get it. How can something that looks so simple-the dial is flat, not compliced-be so hard to Rep?
Oh, wait, is it the seconds at 3 thingy? Ok, then, make one without the seconds and definitely without a date(it looks out of place and very stupid). And how much for a 21j!!!!?
Better yet, if making it without seconds then make it quartz and drop that price way down. No wonder it's not a hot seller.
I want one, but not that ugly.

I've got one incoming in RG (but not from a TD here). Only flaws are the VC logo is silver instead of gold and the subdial is in the orientation of the dial (off set) when it should be straight.

Will get my modder to sort these as they are minor issues.

that doesn't look bad at all. I'd be interesting in a quick review when you receive.

Saw one of those in some luxury London night club. Looked very very good.

Just picked this up. It lacks some of the precision of the original (especially on the subdial), but the case design (no dial bulge) and dimensions (40x40)are perfect , especially the top dial piece which is true to the original (that dial bulge on the latest ones referenced above was really bugging me:sad.

It is thin (around 10 mm), although not quite the 8 mm of the original. But, the subdial seconds are working great, powered by an A2824, the accuracy is at 1.3 s/d, and it looks extremely chic. Shown here with a Genuine Stingray brown strap.

PeteB -- do you remember where you sourced this one?

Believe it or not I ran into it on DHGate - the seller is unfortunately long gone, and I didn't get their WhatsApp contact. I tried several TDs before that, but they all had the version with the "bulging" dial. Since I believe the beauty of the 1921 is that it is both a classic, and has clean modern lines, that did not do it for me. Plus, this one was way more affordable . The seller claimed that this version was done by a "new small factory" but unfortunately I have no more info than that.

Mines going up on M2M tomorrow. You can try Tim / Fat Panda as he may still be able to source.
