I've also tried to get a discount in Singapore and the AD in crown recently, no dice. However the blue dial date only is readily available at 15% or more discount on chrono24, surely that's the way to go? Anyway - I'm toying with the idea of selling my GMT and putting the funds towards the blue dial date only and having that as a daily on the rubber to compliment my ROC. How does a VCO go as a daily in terms of scratches, robustness etc? |

As for price, once you factor in GST etc from getting one overseas (pun intended), the blue dial is, at best, only $1000-$2000 cheaper than getting it from the boutique. Though none of the lowest prices have it in stock. Just a generic photo: https://www.chrono24.com/search/inde...ue&sortorder=1 |

Chrono24 shows around 10 to 15 percent cheaper than the website price for new 2019 chrono models. I'm gonna hit up the boutique when it opens and see how I go. Maybe time the purchase with travel and get it duty free? There is comfort in buying directly from a brand owned boutique. I hope we get an AP or Patek soon. Back to the Overseas. Those perpetual calendars looks great. Only in PM though, not to my liking. Would jump on a SS version. Actually they should make a ceramic version.. Piggyback on the AP hype. |

I was near the boutique on Friday and coincidentally walked past.
Turns out it was opening day! Walked in randomly. It was a nice little boutique with a very friendly team. As another sign from God, the exact model (and the only model with the blue dial that they had in stock) was available on the day. So I did what I had to do. Early impressions: The watch is beautiful. It looks stunning and is well finished, with a lot of attention to detail. Well designed overall and a good size (for a larger wrist), with many clever features that are lacking with AP and PP. The blue dial is absolutely stunning and shifts from a lighter, metallic looking blue to a deeper dark blue depending on the lighting. There is a certain charm about VC that you understand when you see the watch in person. I'm pretty chuffed to own watches from the entire Big Three/Holy Trinity now. |

What’s your guys opinion of the Dual Time variant vs the Chrono (both in Blue version) Ref 7900v?

I really like the VC chrono but the white background on the date window annoys me.
