summary
What did you think.
I think the most talked about aspect of this new release was the reprint of "Historique 222."
The popularity of the Overseas has been at a fever pitch over the past year or two, so we will be keeping an eye on Vacheron Constantin's developments.
If you have any other ideas, I'd be happy if you could let me know!
see you!
