In a couple months I'm going to graduate from university and for that occasion I really want to buy my first forever watch. I have recently stumbled over a vintage vacheron constantin that I absolutely fell in love with however someone else bought it before I could muster up the courage to buy it - a close cousin of the same watch is still available but it's in yellow gold rather than rose gold like the one I really wanted to have. So I'm wondering if I should buy the yellow gold vintage vacheron or if I should buy a new watch (I'm currently thinking about the Nomos Club Sport Neomatik or the Grand Seiko SBGY007). It's really rare to find a vintage vacheron constantin in rose gold so I feel super down about missing my chance and this one and the yellow gold cousin are the only ones of the type I could find. I think yellow gold might be too flashy for me though.

Would you wait and hope for another? Would you buy the yellow gold cousin? Or would you just buy a new watch instead?

Vintage V&C vs. Nomos or Seiko. V&C is Haute Horlogerie ๐Ÿ˜œ
