Foto Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955

[Blue screws]

Together with the Breguet arrived also this Vacheron today. More discrete but at least as handsome.
The case has a 38,5mm diameter (matching the org). It is 13,(-10,9 or 2,6mm thicker than the ORG, I feel that the report tickness to diameter is right, it is a thick watch for his diameter.
The dail is classy and timeless, it's for a reason that Vacheron chose the 1955 chrono model for a recent remake.
The fine blue color detail in the seconds hand and the tachymeter scale is repeated in the band stiching and lining (croco print).
The cowhorn lugs are a special nice design feature, making the watch is nice on the wrist. Overall I am very happy with this watch. It's not as good as the 70k USD original but it includes a lot of nice details for less than 1/280 of the price!

The Sea-Gull hand wind movement is the same as for the breguet and runs well +19s/d, 350°, 0,2ms.

Would love to see a side shot of the thickness, and maybe some shots of not so close up, a bit further away to see the complete profile.

Nice pickup!

I would advise against buying this model actually. My movement starts to show issue (stopping when plenty of power left) and my friend's which movement will stop on certain angle when chrono is running.
The factory did some engraving on the movement, I suspect that is when they tend to damaged the movement.
