Am in the process of acquiring one of these preowned (with the attendant depreciation hit). While I know this watch has a mixed reception I’m super impressed by the craftsmanship, in house movement and band switching ability.

Should have it by late this week. Will share my thoughts once I’ve had a chance to wear it a bit.

Look forward to your review and some pics! Been thinking about tracking one of these down too...

Looking at this one or the time-only as well. Has to be used do but asking prices are still surprisingly high. Under appreciated but beatufull watch. I tried on the time only, Its big do, especialy on the bracelet, so you will need a '7+ wrist to pull it off.

Agreed. I was able to find one at ~35% off msrp. I do have 7.5” wrists. I’ve tried on the Chrono before and find it wears similar to my Sky Dweller. Here’s my SD with the blue Chrono.

Congrats on the Overseas! I was considering one a few months back also, but the time only and dual versions because they were slightly smaller. Love the strap system.

eamonn345 · 27 March 2019, 06:44 AM

Congrats!

I’ve seen some of the models recently. Beautiful pieces. Some photos below. I also liked the blue panda version which is only available via VC boutiques.

I do feel that the one mistake they made was not matching the background color of the date disk to the dial.

Etschell · 27 March 2019, 11:13 AM

Great looking watches.

Cerachrom · 29 March 2019, 07:38 AM

The watch arrived a few hours ago. Have been really enjoying taking in the workmanship (this my first HH watch) and exploring the bands. I particularly like the rubber and metal.

Was a pleasure to deal with DavidSW. This was my first transaction with him. Super responsive and timely.

Here’s two quick wrist shots with each band:

Nice pickup...looks great!

agentmeister5 · 30 March 2019, 03:14 AM

Congrats! I really like this watch and have given it some heavy consideration.

The blue panda looks good. The silver/grey dial helps reduce the contrast of the date using a white background minimizing what I - and I would say many - feel is the biggest weakness of this watch/line.

Congrats. Love this version of the overseas

Congrats, sharp watch with sweet reverse panda dial and uniform subdials, it's got one up on Rolex and AP here.

ajw45 · 30 March 2019, 06:30 AM

Beautiful! The blue dial is unique but the reverse panda feels more casual and almost a modern classic. I hope these have been selling well so I can pick up a preowned one soon

Yes. I agree that the reverse panda is more sporty. I originally had my heart set on the blue Chrono but think the panda will age better. I was able to pick this one up from DavidSW at ~35% off MSRP. It won’t ever be a good investment but I think it’s a good complement to my BLNR.

An interesting comparison.

I wish the chrono was 40mm rather than 43mm. I would be a buyer.

If it was I could imagine VC picking up some Daytona purchases from those who cannot get one.

ppalasthira · 18 May 2019, 11:06 PM

I love the VC chrono.

Damn! That's downright delicious. Love the Overseas, and I think you bought the right one.

I also have had a few very pleasant transactions with the seller you worked with.

Congratulations!
