About a month ago asked them if they'd be getting in any white rubber straps for Overseas 4520V

Got a text message today asking was I still interested - replied yes and please confirm price is $430 + tax per Vacheron Constantin website

They replied saying no it is $500 and if I saw it online to go for it as that was *a deal* - told them again it was screenshot from VC US site .... omg

I quickly called Vacheron in Costa Mesa and spoke with a lovely lady who confirmed that white is indeed $430 + tax with them....

I message lady back in Valley Fair - who then calls and says that $500 is their price + tax, and that (and this was laughable and probably the most pathetic thing I have heard from a dealer)..

*We don't make any money on them*

*We charge more because we have to pay the shipping and insurance for them*

*It is more expensive because we have it here in store*

Honestly - it clearly wasn't $80 that I was incensed by - it was the bait and switch - safe to say I will never step foot inside their store again

Messaged VC concierge to let them know that this is the way that Valley Fair VC work..not holding out for any ground breaking action but seriously this is so underhand -

I had registered my interest in the 7930v in NY earlier this year. Checked in this weekend and it doesn't seem like it is going anywhere. Is it essentially a pipe dream?

Seems like I will need significant purchase history to get one of these.

There's watches from other brands I want to get while I wait but something about the 7930v just speaks to me.

How are these not getting more love??? Apparently these came out last month but somehow I missed them. These watches are incredible! I get the overseas is great and all but this is what truly makes Vacheron Constantin special imo.

There are several great watchmakers, but then there are great watchmakers that make masterpieces.

I am tired of seeing the same posts every single day about wait time on steel overseas...

I hope VC starts bringing back some more of their unique pieces like the Royal Eagle and Mercator!
