Vacheron Constantin Malte Chronograph

[andreww]

This one is 3 or 4 years old but has always been one of my favorites. Not very accurate as compared to the $100,000 gen which was made of platinum. The rep has faux chronos that are adjusted via 4 separate

pushers, two on each side of the case. The caseback pops open with a 5th pusher and reveals a nice work of art (decorated movement) and a beautiful painting too!

Thought you might enjoy a good look at this piece!

Here is the gen

I most certainly enjoyed. Thanks for posting.

When I first joined the boards nearly 3 years ago - these were very popular and it's easy to see why.

Even though it a beautiful piece, it shows how far we have come in 3 years!

It's still a winner!

It's still a winner!

but remember that no matter how beautiful it may look its faux and it still has that silly smiling sun instead of a moon phase

The hunt for a rep of that watch is what brought me into the whole world of replicas and eventually here. I wish another advancement would come along for that model, but I am no longer holding my breath. Great pics!

I guess there are too many complications to do it up right. It actually uses a Lemania movement, not automatic. The date, day,moon phase, month and leap year window are all added complications.

Are you sure?

In the pictures above it is depicted as having an Seiko-like automatic movement

(not really relevant in this discussion....but I would like to add that the movement typically refered to as the Lemania movement by replica dealers is actually a Chinese Sea-Gull copy of the VENUS 175 movement)

The date, day,moon phase, month and leap year window are all added complications.

I presume you mean added "faux" complications? and likely only the date and day are actually functional
