VCA Small charms vs. Rolex

[vcaalhambra]

I have this watch in rose gold and I love it. The watch comes with both the white and the black satin straps. The straps come in a rainbow of colors and are readily available from the boutique. I have 11 different straps in satin and also exotic leather. This is my absolute favorite watch and it also feels like a piece of fine jewelry. I have worn it for many years and it still looks new.

Yes, this is great watch! I may get it too but in white gold since most of my jewelry is WG but at first I am getting frivole earrings in YG actually. Thanks for the info about the watch, very useful!

Thanks for all your input -- you all are extremely helpful. I ended up going with the VCA for the following reasons

• Extremely versatile -- you can dress it up or dress it down. It works very well in all environments with a simple band switch (white, black, blue)
• It is a woman-first watch. Meaning they didn't take a mens watch and shrink is down like most rolexs
• Wife prioritizes jewelry over watchmaking -- she is not wearing a watch to go diving -- she is looking for a jewelry piece that acts like a watch vs. a watch that acts like a jewelry piece
• Unique and not diluted -- you can find a rolex everywhere much like a cartier love bracelet
• Most of all -- she prefers the VCA and it will go along with her other VCA pieces

Hello there! I am considering getting the VCA small charms watch. How does your wife like it? Is it good quality? I have heard some people say the strap's quality is bad... So I just want to know what she thinks about it after wearing it for a while.

I am curious to know about this watch as well. VCA watch is definitely next on my list I was also considering the Alhambra watch since I already have to watches that are round in shape and I am into the Alhambra shape (anything that reminds of nature).

It's a beautiful watch and I'm sure your wife must be happy with it. What I like about that watch is it can be ordered in a variety of sizes; I would go for the largest size in the rose gold. The price is almost exactly the same at the Rolex date just in ss/rose gold with the diamond markers and diamond circle (instead of the fluted).

Hello! I bought the watch in 2016 and it only came with the black and white satin straps. I have not seen it available in the boutiques recently but the last retail price was about $13.6K.
