The thing is that the probability of anyone in your social circles to know what @JayBee0815 explained is virtually nil

Too bad, i think that the Black Dial in YG (or RG) is super beautiful !


Too bad it is more a Dark Grey and not a Full Black...

Honestly? I wouldn't care at all. As long as you like the combo, it´s perfectly ok. Why shouldn´t a Rep have "better" colour variations than the Gen? ;-)

True
In my social circle it is very hard to find someone, who at least knows what Vacheron Constantain is ... and my bubble is quite sophisticated, most people don´t even know the difference between a mechanical watch and a quartz watch *lol*

Same here.
They even might ask if it’s a new brand, then say they prefer Rolex as it’s authentic heritage

Maybe they will think it is a Tissot PRX

I think that, especially bertween 'casual' people, Tissot is more famous than VC...i mean, like Porsche is more famous than Koenigsegg in a certasin way

A normal person does NOT know what a VC is.

If you are interested: Here are some more pics of the old 222 and the new Historiques 222. These are caps from a YT-Clip i German.
I love this one an I am very tempted to give it a try, but as I said before, I have reservations about the gold tone. The Historiques has a rather light, pale tone, which is imo very characteristic for the model. A modder could probably rework it for a lot of money. I might even consider that. But then the rest should also be right. The DW window isn't that bad for me, but the dial color also looks a bit too dark for me in the pictures so far, which would then clash with the real YG tone. So I'll wait for the first RL pictures ;-)

Thanks @JayBee0815 for the insight. I was wondering why I could'nt find any other variations than the YG on VC's website or reviews
