It looks like it.

What is the symbol under the V&C? I tried to blow the pic up, but I can't tell what it is.

There were a lot of early fakes, or watches that were built(?), in the early years. I don't remember details, trying to find some info.

I think its the makersmark. It looks like its an " I " or a sideways "H"

Some are high, and others are just Vacheron. There are different era's, name variations, private label's,fakes,and some are unmarked even or have horseshoe mark. I was looking around on the net. It's hard to tell without the movement. I have a couple that are marked Vacheron. But they aren't Vacheron & Constantin.
