Nice. Can you post a closeup photo of the Villeret - I assume it is RG with a grey(ish?) dial?

Is this the thicker version, with the smaller month font (photo below), and the functioning moonphase, or did you find one that is closer to the gen?

Mine and the one you posted above aren't even close to gen. F Piguet is thinner than a $5 dollar RG movement with zero complications. Why Vacheron and Breguet get their movements from Piguet (owned by Blancpain).

I do agree with you, FF it's one of the most beautyful watches to wear. Mine though seems to have a plastic resin and plastic like rotating bezel, does not seems like Steel. Is it like that in higher priced replicas?

No, got it from a TD. But it's the Black 21j version. As a newby a just wanted to test the water before going deeper into more expensive reps. BP do not get the kind of love as other brands so reps seem a little behind. Nice to have your expertice on the brand to support forum members!! Thanks a lot!!

BP definitely gets love. The noob v1 and even v2 are some of the best reps in the game. The no radiation and blue dial are as well.

Single shots because I started selling before I had them back in hand.

Fabulous collection!

The FP factory is actually in the same building as Blancpain. Most Vacheron movements are JLC derived VC are Richemont owned as are JLC. FP BP and Breguet are Swatch owned.

Her is a gen Villeret
