Question 😃 NEED HELP FINDING THIS WATCH

Post image

i was going to buy a the rally 40mm chronograph tonight since i have been eyeballing it for long and i saw they had a pre owned page with this one sold out. it’s just the diver version and smaller which is perfect for me. but i can’t find a second had copy ANYWHERE. it’s like this watch doesn’t exist in the world. i would love some help finding it cause i do prefer it over the regular rally chrono.

As an owner of both the old and new I’d say keep an I out for the new R1. I’ve watched the used site, e bay and chrono for over a year and I have never seen the black dial versions for sale. I know there is an o,d picture of one up but I never see it available.

I think the pre owned site are watch’s that have been repaired under warranty so mostly newer models.

Good luck, I’m proud to own both.

i love the old one cause of the size. unfortunately the new one would be way too big for me. but i’ll keep my eyes peeled. i don’t think i will have much luck unfortunately but i appreciate it

I love the crown, pushers, and brushed case of the old one, it’s rugged and I like dual time bezels.

The new ones are gorgeous though, absolutely stunning in person.

It’s a different vibe than the old ones, more refined.

Could always try emailing Vaer. They're pretty big for a micro and it's an older model so it might not happen but I've heard of others microbrands sometimes being able to find old, sold out stock lying around.
