Will it fit or be reserved for the 41mm? that's the real question.


I also like the size but not the dials. I will stick with my 26331 blue dial then

I think they look great except for the date. Looks cheap and makes the dial look a bit too busy.

The 41mm is a bit too big for me IMO (6.75”)

Standing offer - I’ll swap a 116520 black or white for one of these if you get tired of it. ��

Looks pretty great, a bit strange that they didn’t bother to center the date window between 4 and 5 like on the old 26300.

Pedantic or not, I think this might be the actual best size. Maybe 40mm might be better to squeeze in the subdials. Dial combos of the 41mm are better tho.

Agree. Looks like they could have it centered, but want to keep it consistent as the 41mm chrono 26331 is my guess. With the 26331, there wasn’t room to have it centered.

I can’t decide as well. The panda is nice but like the subtleness of the gray dial. Will def pick one up.

Yeah I think the grey masks the date window a bit better

I can't find the post now, as it's from a couple of years back. It was in reference to the Vacheron Overseas 3-hander Gen 2 and the offset date window - i.e. not centered between 4 and 5 o'clock. As I recall, this is a shortcut / cost savings measure as it would cost more to manufacture the dial with the date centered. I know it sounds ridiculous and I will try to find the post that I'm referring to ...

It’s not lumed as the chronograph second counter end is hollow, giving it a lumed appearance.

I like these... Together with the new 15500 and the strange 42mm ROO that looks like a 44 - I believe to be the best releases this year...
