My new Vacheron Constantin
By: WHL : November 16th, 2011-11:28
Last week I advertised the fact that I had a palladium Quai de l'Ile coming my way. It has arrived and I am happy to share a few quick photos: I had incorrectly stated that I was getting the first generation QDI with grey hands (not the black as in the ph...
Congrats, Bill! The pleasure a new watch . . .

. . . from a brand you adore brings a sense of satisfaction that few other material possessions can match. I'm sure you'll enjoy wearing it immensely. Cordially, Art
So far, so good!

I've been coveting the QDI for three years. I surprised myself by ultimately choosing palladium, but my tastes have evolved over the years. Bill
Congratulations, Bill!

It is stunning! You are causing me to re-think the QDI. I really do like this version. Can't wait to read your review and see how you like living with this one. May it time only happy moements. Best always, respo
Thanks, respo.....

I think you would enjoy this watch a lot. The big question is if you would bump it ahead of all the other VC's that you like. Bill
Another VC watch I would love to have (in rose gold).

I look forward to seeing more pictures and reading your thoughts on the watch. Watch Time has reviewed one of the newer QDI models in their December issue (day, date and power reserve I believe). I know it is not comparing apples to apples, but I am still...
Hi Stewart...

I have yet to get my hands on the new Watchtime magazine, so I'll be interested to see what they have to say about the QDI D/D/PR. Thanks for the tip. Bill
Congrats Bill

Wear it in good health.

while the QDI sings to me, I recognize that it is not for everyone, either because of the size or because of the dial (for which VC now makes the solid dial option). Bill
I'm certainly lovin' it!
By: WHL : November 20th, 2011-14:04
Though I wouldn't expect the QDI to overtake the Patrimony family of watches in terms of popularity. Best, Bill
just beautiful!

great looking piece

I am not familiar with the watch so I am looking forward to the indept review and a wrist shot.
Congrats !

I love this watch, especially in this version cheers Francois
With the exception of the tantalum QDI.....

I prefer the look of a single metal for the case. I have played with the QDI configurator at VC's website and like the look of the dark dial on the rose gold QDI, but I am in a white metal mood right now. Bill
Love it Bill! But I...

Beautiful watch...

I remember building one just like yours in the VC QDI simulator before. Looking forward to your further impressions.
If we take the Patrimony Contemporaine Self Winding....

which uses the same movement, and which has a retail value of $26,500, and then look at the QDI in Palladium ($37,600) or Rose Gold ($40,900), the question you ask is a very reasonable one. I attibute the "QDI premium" to two factors. One is the complexit...
Thanks for the reply

I saw the solid dial annual calendar QDI retails for US$68k. A nice watch, they must be doing well as that's a lot of money for an annual. Sorry to harp on this, the price surprised me is all, used to VC offering more of a value proposition than, say, Pat...
Congrats on that beauty.

A very special watch, not for everybody. Glad you got it. Enjoy it! Vte
