I know one of these is not a Rolex but I don't know where else to post this and I'm hoping for a good response and I value the opinions of my fellow watch enthusiasts. So, with no further adieu, which watch would you want if you could have either and why? Given enough response I will probably base my decision on this thread.

Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4500v/110a-b483
or
Rolex Sea Dweller 126600

037 · 2 March 2020, 08:35 AM

I voted G-Shock because it was hilarious.

126600 will certainly win this poll.

adawil2002 · 2 March 2020, 08:36 AM

Rolex, of course, looks substantial. The Vacheron looks too delicate & not a fan of the band.

Simon_jrees · 2 March 2020, 08:38 AM

Dweller.

AK797 · 2 March 2020, 08:45 AM

I presume you have other Rolexes so I'd go for the VCO, blue dial if possible, best to venture into Haute sports if you find a model you both like and can find at retail.

FTX I · 2 March 2020, 08:50 AM

I don't like how the VC looks so the SD gets my vote.

OrangeKenny · 2 March 2020, 08:52 AM

Voted for the seadweller, but I’d it was the blue VC I’d have voted differently.

kieselguhr · 2 March 2020, 08:55 AM

Sea Dweller.

Reasons
-Rotating bezel is very useful
-Larger dial diameter
-Sea dweller bracelet and diver adjustment
-Oyster design suits my aesthetic taste and life style
-Larger and lumed hour markers

Pantheon · 2 March 2020, 08:55 AM

Voting for the VCO it's quite a step up from Rolex and it seems you already have a BLRO. I don't see why you even want the SD

Socal Runner · 2 March 2020, 08:56 AM

Seadweller. Perfectly proportioned. Goes with everything. And damn good looking.

BroncoOne · 2 March 2020, 09:00 AM

VCO. I already have a Sub and the Seadweller is a bigger and thicker Sub. As the OP said, what would YOU want. Nothing wrong with the SD at all.

Porsche · 2 March 2020, 09:23 AM

I'm currently lusting after the VC Overseas... so you know which way my vote will go ;-)
The VC oozes understated class.

kamonjj · 2 March 2020, 09:41 AM

I'd go with neither. Get a VC 1921! That platinum version is the jam.

codester · 2 March 2020, 09:50 AM

Had quite a few Rolexes but never a Vacheron. I don’t see may in the wild either. If you have a Rolex or two maybe a good idea to try something new.

Bulldog21 · 2 March 2020, 09:52 AM

SD

Nikrnic · 2 March 2020, 09:55 AM

I made my choice.

I'm all set on my Rolex collection of 7 incl. a 5&6 dgt. Sub

SD43! Hands down.

djgallo · 2 March 2020, 09:55 AM

VC looks so weird....Rolex takes the prize!

Hotrod297 · 2 March 2020, 10:14 AM

Beau, Have you been able to get both on the wrist?

I own the SD43, love this watch! You look like a big dude, so this watch will suit you well.

But the VO is also sweet. Tried one on in Vegas. I was very impress. It's more eye-catching then the SD43. It's a 41 or 42mm I think. Regardless it should wear well on you.

I guess if you want a watch that pops more, the VO.

If you want one that retains it's value, the SD43.

Skydwella · 2 March 2020, 10:23 AM

I can't vote against the SD43.

I'm actually wearing my SD43 as I post this, and no I've never tried on a VC, but that bracelet is just stunning and I love the movement. I'd just have both but I don't see the point in having two stainless, black dial watches and I already have two blue dial pieces so the VCO blue is out.

GradyPhilpott · 2 March 2020, 10:28 AM

I'd take the Vacheron, as I already have a Sub.

In the interest of full disclosure, the VC is way out of my league.

Phooi · 2 March 2020, 10:31 AM

Voted VC since I’m not a fan of the Sea Dweller. I prefer and have a SubC. Recently discovered VCOs and am kind of obsessed. Currently looking at their Dual Time.

fsprow · 2 March 2020, 10:38 AM

If you are a serious diver, the SD. If not the VC is a wonderful watch.

Just try on the blue VCO first, the shade is really quite fetching, not the usual sunburst you see on many brands now.

superstarmar · 3 March 2020, 12:32 AM

Keep your Sea Dweller!!!
Another haute horology hype!
The timeless design of the SD43 blows
The VC diver out of the water and onto dry land .

dafuture · 3 March 2020, 12:36 AM

I'm a fan of the VC as a daily. The SD is great as well, though I'm unsure about the size depending on what you do for work (i.e. does it fit under your cuff). The fact that you can swap to leather and rubber at will is a nice bonus as well.

beshannon · 3 March 2020, 12:40 AM

Vacheron for me.

Sea Dweller is too large for my wrist

dmb359 · 3 March 2020, 12:46 AM

Seadweller is too large for my liking, so I'd pick the VC
